I'm trying to prevent the GNOME dock/dash from appearing and staying visible for 4 seconds when I run the idea command to open IntelliJ IDEA on POP!_OS 22.04.
Problem
Every time I launch IntelliJ IDEA from the terminal using the idea command, the bottom dock slides up and remains visible for 4 seconds before hiding again. This happens even though I have auto-hide enabled and have tried adjusting various timeout settings.
System Information
- OS: POP!_OS 22.04 LTS
- DE: GNOME Shell 42.9
- Dock: [email protected]
Current dock timeout settings:
❯ gsettings list-recursively | grep -E "dock|dash" | grep -E "delay|time|duration" org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock animation-time 0.01 org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock hide-delay 0.0 org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock shortcut-timeout 2.0 org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-delay 1000.0 What I've Tried
- Added
nosplashflag to the IDEA command - Checked notification settings (IDEA not listed)
- Adjusted all available dock timing settings to 0 or minimal values
- Restarted GNOME Shell after changes
Despite setting hide-delay to 0, the dock still appears for 4 seconds when launching IntelliJ.
Question
Is there a hidden timeout setting that controls how long the dock stays visible when an application window opens? The 4-second duration doesn't match any of my configured timeout values.
