[SOLVED] Plank dock doesnt show open apps

I've been using plank for a long time and had no issues with it.
Today, when i logged into my pc i noticed the dock wasn't working well: it didnt show open apps. When i opened an app, it worked, but i couldn't acces it from the dock.

This is the output when i start the dock from command line:

I've tried reinstalling plank and bamf, but that didn't solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

edit: Today i ran an update and it fixed itself lol

Re: [SOLVED] Plank dock doesnt show open apps

I have the same problem, it also started today. After boot it also takes really long for plank to start, once it does it doesn't show apps or a dot under the app.

After restoring a backup from last month the problem came back once I upgraded all packages with "pacman -Syu" I tried reverting back to old kernels but that doesn't solve the problem.

The OP stated that an update fixed the issue.  Have you updated today? Is your mirror you are using synced?

Re: [SOLVED] Plank dock doesnt show open apps

This issue is caused by a bug introduced in libwnck3 43.0-1, one of planks dependencies. Updating to libwnck3 43.0-2 should resolve the issue. If you are still having problems try downgrading to libwnck3 40.1-1 and then rebooting.

Downgrading fixes the issue, but after the update to 43.0-2 it comes back
