Comment (by anevilyak):

 Replying to [comment:3 x-ist]:
 > That apparently excludes the case when the Deskbar is covered by other
 windows
 > at the screen edge, effectively preventing auto-raise.
 > @anevilyak: Do you see an alternative to that solution without
 reintroducing the bugs it solved?

 Not easily, since it's already quite the balancing act to support all the
 disparate modes we have. Furthermore, that would reintroduce some other
 problematic behavior of auto-raise which isn't currently resolvable with
 our existing API to my knowledge (Deskbar would then auto-raise over apps
 that are deliberately full-screen such as watching a movie in
 MediaPlayer). I wouldn't have time to look into it before BG anyways.
