Title:
  Dock's menu: don't hide the dock if it is raised and don't try to
  check if the mouse has left the dock if the menu is raised

Status in “cairo-dock” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “cairo-dock” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The bug is very frequent (in each right-click), and therefore is very annoying.

  [Text Case]

  1.Open an application and maximise its window: the dock is now hidden
  (except if you've modified the visibility option). Now move the mouse
  to display the dock and do a right click on it.

  Broken Behavior: You'll see a menu but the dock will disappear
  Fixed Behavior: It should be visible to have an interaction with the dock and to show the changes, etc.

  2. Do a right click on the dock (or a left click on the Applications
  Menu applet or Status-Notifier applet, etc.) and quickly move the
  mouse somewhere else on the dock.

  Broken Behavior:  You should see something like that: http://i.imgur.com/lrZGX.png (here we can see two icons of musicPlayer applet instead of one and Clipper icon has been partially hidden)
  Fixed Behavior: Should see one icon for the applet and other shouldn't be hidden.

  [Regression Potential]
  The 2 bugs are actually regressions of the previous versions (in previous versions, when the menu was raised, the dock was frozen, which is the correct behavior, and the dock didn't disappear when the menu was raised, which is also the correct behavior everybody would expect).
  So there is no possible regression, but the opposite.

  [Original Report]
  Hello

  The Cairo-Dock team is proposing a new patch to fix two bugs with Cairo-Dock's menus:
   * don't hide the dock if this dock is raised
   * don't try to check if the mouse has left the dock if the menu is raised

  How to reproduce these bugs:
   * open an application and maximise its window: the dock is now hidden (except if you've modified the visibility option). Now move the mouse to display the dock and do a right click on it. You'll see a menu but the dock will disappear (it should be visible to have an interaction with the dock and to show the changes, etc.)
   * do a right click on the dock (or a left click on the Applications Menu applet or Status-Notifier applet, etc.) and quickly move the mouse somewhere else on the dock. You should see something like that: http://i.imgur.com/lrZGX.png (here we can see two icons of musicPlayer applet instead of one and Clipper icon has been partially hidden)

  This patch is available there: lp:cairo-dock-core/3.0 =>

  core/3.0.x/revision/1070

  This bzr branch has been linked to this bug report: lp:~cairo-dock-team/ubuntu/precise/cairo-dock/988102
  This branch should be ready to be pushed on lp:ubuntu/cairo-dock
