Can reproduce. The root cause is the same as Bug 351175 since we just enter Auto-Hide mode conditionally, which triggers that pre-existing bug.

Originally I requested a new bug report since I thought it needed to be fixed differently, but now I'm less sure. The issue with needing a pixel to trigger Auto-Hide and that being almost impossible for shared edges without some kind 'f "edge resistance" effect would plague Dodge Windows as well. So I do think it's ultimately the same bug and requires the same fix. Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase!
