This is feature that I waiting for many years! I hope they let it that way 😄.
My dock often jumping to my external display that is top of my MacBook. This will solve this.

Also today noticing this glaring oversight immediately after updating to Sequoia. VERY annoying. Bring it back, or at least give us a toggle in Settings to choose from.
Wow, this is really throwing off my productivity. Trying to adjust until Apple fixes this, but man what an annoyance.
Same issue here.. very very annoying. I hope they fix this in such a way that all users may choose the best option of their choice.
Yes I am having the same issue with a 14" M1 MacBook Pro with a two external Thunderbolt monitors side by side and the MPB 14 just in front of both..
Upgraded yesterday and I'm very happy with this behavior. Finally, Apple listen to me! 😄.
No bouncing dock to my upper display.

Thanks. And there goes my desire to upgrade. I usually wait 9-12 months but thought I’d be brave this time. Apple software QC is laughable these days.
Despite what some people are claiming, this is not a bug. With a vertical layout of displays, having the dock on the top monitor would mean it is in the middle of the desktop rather than along an edge of said desktop.
Yes. That's how we configure it and use it. It's actually the fastest in that config because there's less space to travel to get to it from either screen.
Hope to god it is a bug, I've filed...will be tremendously annoying if the whole way my displays are set up has been murdered for no good reason.
While the change may have been done to prevent the dock appearing between two vertically stacked monitors, as you suggest, it also breaks the previous functionality of showing the dock at the bottom-most edge of multiple monitors when you have a display layout like this:
| Monitor 2 | Monitor 1 |
| Monitor 3 |
Previously, the dock appeared on Monitor 2 and Monitor 3.
Now it only appears on Monitor 3, and does not let me drag it to another monitor at all.
FYI, I updated to 15.1 today and the dock will once again follow to a monitor stacked above the main screen.
Also it fixed a long standing issue I had with stage manager previews not showing up on my secondary displays when an application is maximized but not full screen.

If the second issue is that, I already reported several times since macOS 14, I will celebrate it a lot 🤣
