2. Set its visibility to "Dodge windows"
3. Open a full screen window in that monitor

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel does not auto hide.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

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!
