While playing Minecraft 1.14.4 on Ubuntu 18.04, moving the mouse to the left will open the Ubuntu Dock, which is hidden. How do I stop it from happening? This only happens with the newest versions of Minecraft.
The game will also snap back when the Dock is open (the camera perspective will turn to the right).

I'm running Minecraft 1.15 on Ubuntu 20.04, but have experienced this problem since Ubuntu 18.04. One less than great solution, which improves (but does not eliminate) the issue:
Increase the pressure required to unhide the dock with the dconf-editor. Setting is located at /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/pressure-threshold, I found that 275.0 is about as much as you can increase it without becoming annoying outside of Minecraft.
But finally it seems there is a better way to do this! Minecraft recently added some new mouse settings to the control menu, and I was able to eliminate the issue entirely by disabling raw input in my Minecraft mouse settings. Can also be done by editing ~/.minecraft/options.txt and setting rawMouseInput:false. You can still access the dock with Minecraft maximized by opening the menu and moving your cursor to the dock location, like normal.
