Impossible to reveal Dock when using autohide and a wacom tablet

[pablogipi]

Hello.
Was trying to set the dock to auto hide, I use a wacom tablet that works perfectly in PopOS, except for the dock.
When the dock is hidden I can reveal it using the mouse but not with the wacom.
The wacom needs to be set to Touchpad(relative) in order to reveal the dock.
If you use absolute, the default, then when you move the cursor to the bottom the dock doesn't appear.
Is like is the cursor never gets to the last row of pixels in the screen.

Thanks

Just found that Hot Corner is also NOT working with wacoms, I suppose this affect all tablets in general.
Loos like effects/actions triggered by moving the cursor to the screen edges don't with with tablets (wacom).
My guess is that the tablet is perfectly mapped to the screen dimensions and is never detected to be further than the edges.
Thanks

I wonder if it's because the default setting requires "pressure" to show the dock, meaning the cursor has to be pushed against the edge of the screen. This setting can be customized by installing dconf-editor, then navigating to /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/pressure-threshold. My guess is that changing this value to 0 will allow the dock to show with your tablet, but it might also work if it's just lower than the default of 100.

I'm not sure about hot corners, but I assume there might also be a similar setting somewhere that controls those.

Hello.
Sorry for the late response.
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried the dconf route but I couldn't find the pressure-threshold option, this is what I got in dconf editor, and also using dconf from the terminal:

I have been searching for the pressure-threshold entry in dconf but no luck, I guess is an old settings option.

Are you running the standard Cosmic Dock extension, or did you change it out for the standard dash-to-dock extension? That pressure-threshold setting should just be there if it's cosmic-dock:

$ dconf list /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/
background-color
background-opacity
click-action
dock-alignment
dock-fixed
dock-position
extend-height
intellihide
manualhide
multi-monitor
pressure-threshold
running-indicator-dominant-color
running-indicator-style

Sorry, my new late response.
I'm new to POP and I was used to the old Gnome so I didn't know anything about the different dock extension.
so I installed the dash-to-dock extension, and finally I have the pressure option.

Unfortunately is not solving the issue and the dock don't show when moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen with the wacom.
It is a pity because is very annoying yo work like this and I have to switch back to my windows system.
Anyway thanks Ill keep digging to see if I can find a solution.

Thanks!

Hello, to anybody having this same problem, if you install the dconf-editor and search for "require-pressure-to-show" and disable that option(seems to be enabled by default), the dock works with a Wacom tablet(and probably other tablets in absolute mode).

Thank you both for submitting this issue and the answers, because of this I got my tablet working correctly.
