I can't believe this is being touted as a 'feature' of Internet Explorer. IE's Dock awareness is absolutely disgraceful compared to most other apps.

In fact, Internet Explorer is the only application I am aware of that shows complete disregard for the Dock when resizing windows, but then - totally inconsistently - resizes them whenever the Dock's status changes. This is arguably worse than not being Dock-aware at all, as it means that whenever the Dock's status changes, IE windows jump about all over the place.

This is a bug, not a feature.

OmniWeb won't put a window behind the dock in the first place. I condider that to be true dock-awareness. It won't even place a new window such that the re-size widget is off-screen.

I find it curious that the Finder a) will place new windows so that they are either behind the dock and/or the re-size window is off-screen, and b) does not respond to the Dock hide/unhide trick.
