Comment 28 for bug 1872268

Daniel van Vugt, both bugs ("extra page dots in App grid" and "clicking outside of app icon folders freezes Gnome shell") are caused by setting extend-height to True (default value) in the Ubuntu Dock extension. If I set this value to False, these problems are resolved. As I showed in the comment above (25).

In the link indicated by you, he (Brian Murray) says to uninstall Ubuntu dock 67 and install version 68 manually. Someday version 68 will be available by default.

I did everything following these steps:

1 - I uninstalled version 67 of the Ubuntu Dock

    sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

2 - I downloaded the indicated Ubuntu Dock 68 .deb file and installed it

    http://launchpadlibrarian.net/479451292/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock_68ubuntu1~20.04.1_all.deb

3 - I restarted the operating system to make sure all changes were made

Even using version 68 I still have the problem with the extra dots. And the interface continues to freeze, but only when I click multiple times outside the app icon folders.

I made a video shown the two problems of Ubuntu Dock 68. Note that at 00:20 the App grid has extra dots. And at 01:05 the interface freezes, and I can only move the mouse.
