Dock and Full Screen - slow to appear on mouse over

Is there some trick to getting my dock to consistently appear when I mouse over it in full screen mode?

It's driving me nuts!

Sometimes when I mouse over it pops up and other times it only pops up after several attempts and other times it just doesn't. It really makes using my Mac laborious when I am in full screen mode.

I can't make it permanently visible in full screen mode either.

I searched these forums and someone else asked to make the dock permanently visible and the only answer he got was "why would you want to?"

Well I have a reason why...

I am on the latest OS (Ventura)

Thanks.

Hey XineJon,

We’d be happy to help out. It’s difficult to say what might be going wrong, but are you bringing your cursor all the way to the bottom of the screen and touching the bottom edge with your cursor? If not, that might be why you’re not seeing it come up consistently.

When in Full Screen mode you need your cursor to go as far down as possible to get it to bring the Dock back up.

We hope this helps out.

Take care!
