That's the login animation, not related to the auto-hide setting. It's there by design to avoid at least two bugs:
* Dock overlaps top bar during login; * Dock makes the login animation stutter heavily. So on login, this isn't a bug. For unlocking the screen, this is a bug. And actually a recent fix to the desktop-icons-ng extension has given me some inspiration for how to fix the unlock problem. ** Summary changed: - dock auto-hide off but hidden on login + Dock auto-hide off but hidden on screen unlock ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947149 Title: Dock auto-hide off but hidden on screen unlock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1947149/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
