Public bug reported: When not in auto-hide mode, icons are shifted out of the way of the dock. This does not happen when the dock is in auto-hide mode meaning that when there is no window to cause it to hide, the icons at the edge of the desktop are obscured. These icons are commonly Home, Trash and various volumes.
Either the icons should be autplaced out of the way of the dock, or the dock should be able to be made to auto-hide always (my preferred solution) as well as only when a window would be obstructed. ~ $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 ~ $ apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock: Installed: 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.3 Candidate: 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.3 Version table: *** 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.3 500 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.1 500 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main i386 Packages ** Affects: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "who's-hiding.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830034/+attachment/5265725/+files/who%27s-hiding.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830034 Title: dock obstructs desktop icons when in auto-hide mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1830034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
