Same problem here (I think). Stock Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock version 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.1
The dock has disappeared overnight (pretty sure that it's not related to any updates, since auto-updates are off and /var/log/apt/history.log does not show any installs/upgrades more recent than January 14.) I still have a gray bar with the time on top and the word "Activities" in the top left corner. It shows up if I click on "Activities" or press the Windows key on the keyboard, then disappears again. Options in the "Dock" tab in Ubuntu settings (Auto-hide, Position on screen) have no effect. Unlike the original reporter, my system was rebooted about 24 hours ago. Reviewing the event journal, I see the following appear last evening: Jan 28 21:21:56 aidev-System-Product-Name gnome-shell[3405]: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ubuntu-d...@ubuntu.com/docking.js 1778]: reference to undefined property "_workspaceIsolation" (...)

I only turn off the monitor when I go out. Sometimes, after a while, when I turn on the monitor, Ubuntu's Dock is no longer there and what I get is the GNOME Dock which is hidden and can be seen by pressing "Super" (which shows all windows as well). This is annoying. Not sure if related, but here's what I've found in the journalctl logs: https://gist.github.com/k-bx/3a11b3ae34531a0dd2eb9cdaac97cf6c > JS ERROR: TypeError: this._workspaceIsolation is undefined ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-34.37-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-34-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Oct 2 19:32:07 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-08-30 (32 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1795703/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
