[stigman9393]

default

dash to dock

Do you mean dash-to-dock is too small now, or did the gap and the workspace shrink instead?

Nope, I have the same. Whole activity overview desktop size is different with dash-to-dock enabled, attaching two whole desktop screenshots, one with dash-to-dock enabled and other disabled. It is not about size of the dock, it is about whole desktop overview size. Also, dash-to-dock dock is placed slightly differently unlike default dash, less gap between dash and bottom of the screen.
So I think bug report should be renamed to something like 'desktop overview size in activity menu differs with default one with dash-to-dock extension enabled'

So, IIRC the reason why this space has been added was to make the application labels to be visible (and centered) when hovering a window.

I see that it's different in default dash, but complexity of options that we have lead to have a different behavior of the windows.

I think default size looks more clean also.

yes, me too. dash to dock gap looks little bit weird if all elements have a different gap like for example search bar have rly small gap and dash to dock completly different like 50px
