BUG: [Gnome 44] Dock Not Displayed on Second Monitor, Only Primary

[aoberek]

I'm experiencing an issue where the dock is not being displayed on my second monitor; it only appears on the primary monitor. This behavior persists regardless of the monitor configuration or settings adjusted within the system preferences.

Environment:

• Ubuntu Version: 23.04
• Gnome Version: 44.3
• Dual Monitor Setup: Yes

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Checked monitor settings to ensure both are recognized and configured correctly.
• Reviewed Gnome extensions to confirm no conflicts or settings that would restrict the dock to a single monitor.
• Searched for system settings or options related to dock display preferences across multiple monitors but found none that address this issue.
