Hi Daniel,
because I reported the bug, probably is better I explain it.
First, I always moved the icons using Alt+Button Click, and I never
used Click on the corner with docked apps, so for me was "important",
because the problem breaks my normal behavior.

It's related to pressing Alt. I usually move the icons by clicking in
their corner and dragging. Now if I move them with Alt pressed I can
reproduce the behavior.
OK, tell me if I understand the bug correctly.
Normally, to dock an application, you drag its undocked appicon to
the dock (no Alt pressed for now). Then, to undock it, you drag it
with Alt pressed.
*Before* commit 9fae35fbc, when dragging an undocked appicon, you
could press Alt and still dock the appicon. *After* the commit, if
you press Alt while moving an undocked appicon, it won't dock.
Yes, exactly. Before the commit, when I move the icon with Alt+
pressed, it can't be docked (and the shadow is not drawed).
When the icon is removed (with Alt+), the icon is removed, but, the
shadow is not drawed.
If your bug is about the difference in behavior before and after the
commit, well, at least it's "by design" (admittedly, my design, we
can always discuss). Cf. the commit comment:
[...]
Behaves essentially the same, only a bit more consistently.
Known differences:
1. An AppIcon will now always end up undocked if moved while
Mod1 is pressed.
[...]
I called the new behavior "more consistent" because it's summarized
as "moving an appicon without Mod1 (Alt) is to move and dock, moving
it with Mod1 pressed is to move without docking, always".
Ok, we can discuss it, but some things:
- Docked applications (appdock) and applications icons are different,
because I cannot click on the docked application to drag it (because
the click is used by the application).
- In docked apps, is easy click with Alt than without it in the
corner. That is a problem for users with visual problems.
- We can move things using Alt+Click, for example we can click in the
center of a xterm (not in the titlebar) and move it.
- When you move the docked app between Clip and Dock, the behavior is
"rare". First, you click on Alt+ and start to move it, but you need
leave the Alt key to dock it. The old behavior is better IMO, because
you can do it without leave the Alt key.
Is the bug you reported about the above difference of behavior?
Yes.
