The secondary display is actually my laptop's internal monitor, the primary display is an external monitor. If I close the laptop lid and so disconnect the laptop's monitor I think that moving the position of the dock works normally with a single display so this is a dual monitor related bug.
** Description changed: I have a two monitor set-up with four workspaces on the primary display and an additional workspace on the secondary display. I normally have an application running in each workspace. If I open Settings | Dock | Position on screen and change the setting from 'Left' to 'Bottom' I find that the applications on workspaces 3 and 4 move to workspace 1. The applications in workspaces 1 and 2 remain running in those workspaces. Reverting to the change doesn't move the applications back to their former workspace. There have been other occasions when I have seen this behaviour but am I unable to reproduce at this time. + + Primary monitor: External - four workspaces + Secondary monitor: Laptop internal - single workspace ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.04 Package: mutter-common 42~beta-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.15.0-22.22-generic 5.15.19 Uname: Linux 5.15.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu79 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Mar 18 08:03:00 2022 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-11-11 (126 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.10 "Impish Indri" - Release amd64 (20211012) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to jammy on 2021-11-11 (126 days ago) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1965505 Title: Changing the position of the dock moves applications to first workspace Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a two monitor set-up with four workspaces on the primary display and an additional workspace on the secondary display.
