[Bug 2153406] Re: Ubuntu Dock setting "Show overview on startup" does not work
** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + * The Ubuntu Dock "Show overview on startup" switch (dash-to-dock +disable-overview-on-startup) is not honored on GNOME 50 and later: +turning it off still animates the overview at every login, and the +overview state can end up stuck at activities picker. + + * Backporting the upstream dash-to-dock commit 6dd941ce (fixing +upstream issue #2582): the dock now temporarily overrides the +OverviewAdjustment value to HIDDEN while the startup animation runs, +and restores it right after, instead of mutating the shell state +once in a way the new startup sequence overrides. + + [ Test Plan ] + + * On the affected version the login still shows the overview animation +instead of landing directly on the desktop. + + * With the fix, the session starts straight on the desktop; repeat the +relogin a few times and also verify the overview still works normally +afterwards (Super key, Activities) and that with the switch on its +default value the startup behaviour is unchanged. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * The override is a property injection active only during the startup +animation and removed when it completes; if that removal misfires, +the overview could stay hidden after login (Super key not opening +it) until the shell is restarted. + + * The injection is only applied when the option is enabled, so the +default startup path is untouched. + + [ Other Info ] + + * The same commit is already in stonking via +gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions 51.26.10.1ubuntu (Fix Released here); +this SRU only backports it to earlier releases. + + * Users wanting the opposite (overview shown at startup) on GNOME 50 +need the shell-side start-in-overview setting instead; this fix only +restores the "skip" behaviour. + + --- + In ubuntu 26.04 "Show over view on start up" settings in Ubuntu Dock or Just perfection does not work.
