macOS Sequoia users frustrated with dock not displaying on second monitor

Mac users who’ve upgraded to macOS 15 Sequoia have noticed an issue with the dock when they’re connected to an external monitor or have a multi-monitor setup. The problem appears to stem from changes in how macOS handles dock placement across multiple displays. Previously, users could easily move the dock to any connected monitor by moving the cursor to the bottom of the desired screen. However, in Sequoia, this functionality seems to be limited, particularly when monitors are arranged vertically.

Many users have reported that when an external monitor is positioned above the built-in MacBook display in the system’s display arrangement settings, the dock becomes “stuck” on the laptop’s screen. This has disrupted long-standing workflows for professionals and power users who rely on multi-monitor setups.

“I thought I was going crazy this morning,” one Reddit user commented. “Nothing a good Reddit search can’t solve. Hopefully this is just a bug and is fixed soon.”

Some users have found workarounds, such as rearranging their displays side-by-side in the settings or physically repositioning their monitors. However, these solutions are often impractical or undesirable for many setups.

Users are also wondering whether this is an intentional change or a bug that slipped through the cracks. Some argue that Apple may have made this change to prevent accidental overshooting of the dock, while others insist it’s a regression in functionality.

Apple has not officially commented on the matter, but reports indicate that the company is aware of the issue. According to user feedback on Apple’s beta testing platform, the problem has been marked as “Potential fix identified – For a future OS update.” So we’ll just have to wait and see how long it’ll take Apple to release a fix for the bug.
