Hello and thank you for this bug report! (and sorry for the delay)

Mmh, I see. It's maybe because your WM draws this window 1px on the
other desktop. Can you check the position of these maximised windows by
using this command:

    $ xwininfo

@fabounet: or maybe the dock should not be hidden if only 1px is
visible?

@Steve: how did you install Cairo-Dock? By using our repository? If no, do you also have this bug with it? => http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=From%20the%20repository&lang=en#5-Debian
As workaround, you can select the option to hide the dock when a window is above the dock :)

Title:
  Dock hides unneccessarily on 2-monitor system

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  New

Bug description:
  On upgrading to cairo-dock 3.4.0 (Debian unstable (AMD64) with
  Openbox) my "Visibility" setting of "Hide the dock whenever it
  overlaps any windows" seemed not to be working -- the dock would hide
  even on an empty screen.

  It turned out that cairo-dock believes that it overlaps if a window is
  maximised on the *other* monitor.

  If the window is dragged to maximum size, rather than maximised, there
  is no problem.
