Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Plank dock works (most of the time) when installed with no changes.
However when a full screen window is open, somtimes it failes to show on mouse hover over plank area.

If I move the dock to the left side of the screen intelihide no longer works, period.

Note: In Ubuntu 20.04 plank 0.11.89-1 works as expected when placed on any side of the screen.

Hy All:

You can get a PROPER working version of Plank Dock by installing Plank
Dock 0.11.4-4 from Debian 11 Buster. Here is how I did it.

sudo echo 'deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib' |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian11.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo dpkg --force-all -i plank_0.11.4-4_amd64.deb

plank depends on libplank1 (= 0.11.4-4); however:
Version of libplank1:amd64 on system is 0.11.89-4+b1.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i libplank1_0.11.4-4_amd64.deb

libplank1:amd64 depends on libplank-common (= 0.11.4-4); however:
Version of libplank-common on system is 0.11.89-4.

sudo dpkg --force-all -i libplank-common_0.11.4-4_all.deb

sudo apt-mark hold plank
sudo apt-mark hold libplank1
sudo apt-mark hold libplank-common

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian11.list

sudo apt-get update
