The dock doesn't work correctly after I enter my password, either.

This should not happen under normal circumstances, as per GNOME's security policy, whenever you enter the lock screen all the extensions get disabled automatically until you get back in, and then the extensions get re-enabled. Somehow it's failing here for the Ubuntu Dock extension (gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock
) and so it's a bug.
Note: Bug reports are off-topic here.
As a temporary workaround either restart (or relogin to) your system or restart GNOME shell by pressing Alt+f2, then typing r
and pressing Enter.

This bug was reported as being fixed in the package gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock, 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.3. Perhaps the bug will go away if you update to that package.

This issue is resolved with the following command, found it on this github issue: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/649#issuecomment-348433909
$ sudo mv /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected] ~/
NOTE the comments below about how this is hacky and a very undesirable method to solve the issue.

3This will just forcefully move the system folder for Ubuntu Dock to your home directory. This is highly not recommended. Moving or editing or deleting system files blindly with
sudo
is not recommended in general and also the package for Ubuntu Dock is a system package,ubuntu-desktop
metapacakge depends on it. So update to any associated package or metapackage will most certainly bring that directory back.– pomskyJan 2, 2019 at 23:44
There is a solution, I had the same problem in ubuntu 19.10 (sic!). And this command fixed it: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock transparency-mode FIXED
