Big Sur Dock Problem I recently switched to a different MacBook air running Big Sur. On previous versions the dock would appear when you moved your cursor to the bottom of the screen (location of dock) when you were in a maximized application, such as safari. But it does not seem to work on Big Sur. Is there anyway to change this? I know automatically show and hide dock exists but I don't like that fact that the dock is also hidden on the home desktop (desktop you first see when you login).

Dock misbehaving Using Big Sur. Dock no long appears on bottom of screen. Must scroll down to activate it, but it disappears as soon as you move the cursor away. Help instructions tell you to go to "Dock" in System Preferences. "Dock" has become "Dock and Menu Bar" and I can't find an option to automatically start up the Dock.
