Admin flag to disable auto-hiding shelf

Reported by administ...@cothill.net, Jun 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Right click on dock, switch on auto-hide or switch off
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
We had pupils doing an online exam in steps, and on each page the word "Next" appears in the very bottom right hand corner of the screen. When students tried to click on it, the dock would pop up and make it impossible for them to click the Next button. Only when dock auto-hide was switched off could they make a clean click on Next. So I really want to disable the auto-hide feature for all students at our school. Would be great to do this in the admin console please!

Did this work before? No

Hello. Thanks but I'm not sure how to mark as untriaged and request the dev
team to look into this and update. Please advise unless you've done it
already. Thanks

Marking as available. Might be a good starting bug for a noogler or intern.

Sergey, what do you think about this as a starter bug?
Doesn't ShelfAutoHideBehaviour' policy https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ShelfAutoHideBehavior enough for that?

@administrator@cothill.net does comment #8 help? Does that policy work for your purpose?
Status: WontFix (was: Assigned)
Please reopen/comment with a specific proposal and let us know whether the policy mentioned in #8 is good enough. Thanks!
