The dock comes out vertically

[ianhundere]

How did you upgrade to 21.10? (Fresh install / Upgrade)

sudo pop-upgrade release upgrade -f from 21.04

Issue/Bug Description: the dock shows up vertically instead of horizontally

Steps to reproduce (if you know): not sure how to reproduce. i got it to stop by turning off the cosmic dock extension and then turning it back on again.

Expected behavior: the dock shouldn't pop up like some sorta space odyssey monolith.

Exact same behavior, it happens mostly after unlock the screen. I need to refresh Gnome (ALT+F2 then r) to fix the issue.

I'm having a difficult time reproducing the issue.

How do you have cosmic dock configured on your machines?

Do you use more than one monitor similar to what is reported in https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-dock/issues/71?

From the report in https://github.com/pop-os/beta/issues/262, it sounds like suspend/resume cycles might make this behavior more reproducible.

[goldyfruit]

The issue seems to have disappeared.

Excellent! I'll close this issue for now. If anyone is still seeing the dock go vertical, just comment here and I'll reopen it.

I have the same behavior, it started around a week ago. Before it was okay. I have been shuffling with the dock settings (intelligence hide, extending to edges of screen, custom size etc) but this does not help. Restarting gnome always makes it disappear, sometimes after waking up i see it and it disappears within a second but most of times it stays vertically.

Dang, I thought this bug went away. Anything in particular that makes it happen consistently?

[krulkrul]

i might found a clue...it could be caused by gnome extension 'Vertical overview'. I completely disabled that extension and so far so good. There is a configuration setting in that extension that gave me a hint ('Enable dash overrides, disable if you use another entension that replaces the dash')

Wonder if user @goldyfruit and @ianhundere had same extension installed at times of the problems.

[leviport]

Vertical Overview should have been replaced by Cosmic Workspaces, although that update did require a sudo apt full-upgrade to install properly. Can you send the output of sudo apt list --upgradable to see if a package called pop-session needs an update? If that upgrade has been kept back on your system, that could explain why everyone else saw the issue disappear with updates.

[goldyfruit]

I don't have Vertical Overview extension anymore.

I do see indeed a new version for pop-session:

I will do a 'apt full-upgrade' and monitor further

[krulkrul]

You can close this issue...the 'apt full-upgrade' resolved the conflicts with the different extensions (also some other workspace related issues i had :) )

Glad to hear it, thanks for the update!
