Bug Description
The clock and desktop icons are moved 1 slot to the left when enabling Auto-hide the Dock.
Reproduce:
- Open the Settings > Dock
- Enable Auto-hide the Dock
If disabling Auto-hide, the clock and desktop icons are moved in the opposite direction (to the right). In certain situations this can make the desktop icons go off screen.
Reproduce:
- Open the Settings > Dock
- Enable Auto-hide the Dock
- Place a icon on the right edge of the screen
- Disable Auto-hide the Dock
Expected behavior:
The clock should never move. Desktop icons that are overlapped by the launcher can move when disabling auto-hide, if this exception is not feasible the icons should never move automatically.
Important notes:
- The steps to reproduce may be different in later versions of Ubuntu
- The Dock needs to be positioned on the left of the screen in order that the described issues are seen. However, that is the default position on installation.
- Positioning the dock at the bottom or right of the screen may yield different issues or none at all.

There is a confusion between those two packages, gnome-shell- extension- dashtodock and gnome-shell- extension- ubuntu- dock. We follow the ubuntu one.
