[21.04] double dock with Dash to Dock #158

Closed vega-d closed 2 years ago

vega-d commented 3 years ago

How did you upgrade to 21.04? (Fresh install / Upgrade) 20.04 => 20.10 => 21.04

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME): Dash To Dock and/or Dash To Panel and probably more.

Issue/Bug Description: I think attached screenshots are self explanatory, but if they're not: Something what appears to be gnome's dash doesn't disappear when other form of dock/panel is enabled.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Expected behavior: No duplication of docks/dashes/panels.

I had a very similar problem/conflict between Dash to Dock and Ubuntu's pre-installed Dock extension, when I was trying to get a usable dock in Ubuntu 21.04. It would be nice if these extensions were operating on a more well-established and stable API so there were no conflicts like this, but the primary solution will probably always be to do exactly what you did: Disable the other extension and then restart the shell to make the duplicate go away.

This is much more of a GNOME problem rather than a Pop!_OS problem. As far as I know.

I don't think it's a gnome problem. 21.04 still uses gnome 3.38, just like 20.10, and I never had that issue on 20.10. My guess is that something got messed up because cosmic separated Overview into Workspaces and Applications, so now either dash behaves in undocumented way or all these extensions are not optimized for cosmic. Could be both really.

I think it would be important to note that problem does not go away if I disable ubuntu dock.
