The Dock was moved to the right side of the screen but still auto displays when cursor on bottom? Using this tip from basic Google Search I was able to move the Dock to the right side:



The Dock does show only on the right side now.  However it also displays (auto-unhides) when the mouse/cursor travels to the bottom of the screen.   

It is distracting when interacting with full length windows. Can that behavior be disabled?  I am on Sierra.
If you get unexpected behaviour after manually moving or adjusting the Dock, you can try restarting the Dock.

Open your Terminal (Applications > Other > Terminal or search for Terminal in Spotlight)

Type killall Dock after the prompt and enter.

Your Dock should restart with the expected behaviour.  You can verify your settings in the System Preferences > Dock

Edit: It May be necessary to reset the Dock to factory settings then customize as needed. Some have experienced various dock bugs in Sierra. 


Open the Terminal
Type (or copy and paste) defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock
Hit return
