> Do you have more than one screen?

Yes, the laptop's built-in screen and one external screen. The external one is
configured as the main and only screen, and the built-in one turned off.

When I boot, I do the following things in completely random order (I should not
be expected to do them in any particular order):
- open the lid if I am turning on the computer, so that I can push the on/off
button to turn it on (because sadly the on/off button is under the lid, a
stupid design flaw that most laptops share). Or, if I am rebooting but software
rebooting is not working, I open the lid so that I can access the on/off button
in order to force a power off and then power on.
- close the lid while the system is booting
- connect the external screen if it wasn't already connected (usually it is,
but if I need to open the laptop I also need to take it off of where it usually
sits, and for that, sometimes I disconnect everything to take it off more
easily, and then I reconnect everything.
- log in

Sometimes I don't need any of that (except the login), if I am just rebooting
and rebooting from software works: in that case I just reboot, the lid remains
closed all the time and the external screen remains connected all  the time.
That is if I don't incur in bug 472581, in which case I need to open the lid so
that the login screen shows up on the built-in screen.


> does the issue still reproduce with only one screen?

I don't know. Maybe not. I very rarely use the laptop without the external
screen, and it requires too much time to test it on purpose.

I can say with certainty that sometimes It happened that I booted with the
built-in screen only and didn't observe the issue, but (a) I am not completely
sure that I never did observe the issue with the built-in screen only, (b) with
the external screen I don't think it happens 100% of the times, (c) I pretty
rarely reboot or turn off and on the computer at all (basically I only do when
some bug forces me to, or when I travel).
