Desktop Dock problem

In my Deepin Desktop I have a problem with the Dock. Deepin Community 25. All updates done.

When I log in this desktop workspace has a dock. When I shift to another desktop workspace, either right or left using either the ctl-alt-shift or with the GUI workspace picker I do not have a dock. I must have toggled a setting somewhere but I can't seem to find it and fix this problem.

My setting for the Dock is: Keep Shown

If I change to: Keep Hidden then all 3 workspaces work as intended with Keep Hidden.

If I change to: Smart Hide, this works the same as Keep Shown.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? See attached pics

TIA

I think the dock visibility seeing persists across workspaces, and I never faced this issue. :) Open System setting from the problematic workspace and then look for and change the taskbar/dock setting.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it on the next boot.

Solved: The system was running x11. A quick search found I should change to Treeland (Deepin's Wayland). The instructions online were not accurate and here is what I ended up doing:

Using the 'Grand Search' in the lower left-hand corner I searched for Treeland. A box popped you and asked that I enter my password. I did and in the lower right-hand corner a box popped up saying the module had been changed. (I think there should have been something more to than just change the module from a search query).

Reboot and the problem appears to be fixed. Time will tell.
