Bug Description

Hello,

Ubuntu 20.04 beta (Apr 2nd 2020)

1. Set in dconf editor under
/org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/
autohide:true
docker-fixed:false

2. Maximize some desktop window and the dock disappears.
Now, move mouse to the dock area but the dock will never appear.

(on 18.04 this works properly - using the same dconf properties in both 20.04 and 18.04)

It should auto appear when you move the mouse where the dock was hidden.

Thank you for your bug report. What session do you use? Is that ubuntu and it's dock or dash to dock in a GNOME session?
Could you add your 'journalctl -b 0' log to the bug after triggering the issue?

Yes, the Ubuntu (default) session and its original Dock (no extra extension installed)
Basically, the default desktop setup with the steps above.

Just to be sure, I did a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 installation, performed updates and reproduced the issue right away.

All you need to do is to:
1. set /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/dock-fixed=false in dconf-editor
2. maximize the dconf-editor (so that the dock will hide)
3. move the mouse to the left so the dock should appear but it does not

The setting you are using isn't exposed in the UI and not officially supported, best to report upstream on

I'm having trouble with autohide too. It also happens when switching from a normal window to a fullscreen window, with the mouse at the end of the dock previously.

disable require-pressure-to-show which is enabled by default, and this fixed it for me.
