Dock Intelligent hide only reveals the dock intermittently about cosmic-dock HOT 10 OPEN

• If mouse already at the bottom outside of the dock area, moving along the bottom never reveals the dock
• If the window edge changes the mouse cursor to the window drag function, I cannot see the dock--this happens often due to the tiling window manager
• It works about 50% of the time, and when it is really stubborn I have to close all windows to get back to the dock

I can sort of recreate the first point. I don't see the second and third points.

(3) Expected behavior:

Every time my mouse goes to the bottom of the screen where the dock is, the dock pops up to interact with.

Are you aware that revealing the dock requires pressure against the edge of the display, not just having the mouse at the bottom? (You need to move the mouse past the bottom of the display.) pop-os/desktop-widget#42 is related to this-- does disabling pressure with the following command make it seem more consistent?

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock require-pressure-to-show false

It does indeed make it work as expected.

Is that setting sticky? I had to add a line to my .bashrc to get my audio output choice to stick. I'm wondering if I have to do the same thing here.

There may be a bug with the "pressure" detection algorithm. I'm pushing my mouse beyond the lower border and it still wasn't counting that action as pressure. It could be related to the windows being expanded to the full height and "stealing" some of the mouse velocity. All I know is that with require-pressure-to-show turned on, is that it only sometimes displays when I have tiling turned on.

That is a gsetting, so it should be "sticky" for your user account. You can flip it back by replacing false with true in the command.

The other issue I linked (pop-os/desktop-widget#42) is a feature request to expose this setting in the GUI, so if doing that would solve your problem, then I'd suggest we close this issue (it will show up in the other issue, so it will count toward that feature request's "popularity.")

I am not seeing this on my own system (and I have windows maximized often.) There is a minimum velocity required (I can avoid triggering the dock by moving the mouse slowly enough.) What type of mouse are you using? If you enable the top-left Workspaces hot corner, does that also trigger inconsistently on your system?

Just what I wanted to hear

Yes, that would satisfy my needs.

I had to search to find that setting, but it appears to work predictably. I can even have my mouse on the top left corner and then move it and trigger the effect.

If the dock behaved the same way as the workspace trigger, then I wouldn't have any issues. However, I can have my mouse on the bottom edge of the screen and then move down and the pressure isn't triggering no matter how fast I move the mouse. I have a HyperX Pulsefire Dart. Nothing super special other than being wireless using a dongle. It's pretty reliable.

The common thread when I have problems is that the lower boundary of my tiled window has changed the cursor to the resize cursor. Every time I have the resize cursor, the dock doesn't trigger. I have a gap enabled because it looks nice, and that may be contributing to the problem.

It's expected for the cursor to change to the resize cursor when mousing over the bottom edge of a window; while you can't resize up from the bottom in tiling mode, that cursor behavior is not being overridden in Pop Shell at this time. A gap of 2 is default, and I don't see this happening with tiling enabled. I can only make the dock not show up by moving my mouse slower than usual.

What hardware are you using and what GPU does it have? What is your display configuration, just a single screen? Sorry, I see you provided display info in your initial report.

from cosmic-dock.

Only additional display related stat is the GPU, which is an NVIDIA 1060 3GB.

I am having this same problem with both "always" and "intelligently" hide. Moving the mouse to the very bottom doesn't make the dock show up 100% of the time.
