Public bug reported: Click the user menu (top right) and choose either the Lock icon or $username -> Switch User.
I expected to be sent to a lock screen (possibly via a blanked screen or a screensaver - I don't know what normal behaviour is for Ubuntu 19.04). What happened was most of the Gnome shell was left up on screen, including all my apps that were running, along with the user menu with greyed-out Lock button. If I click the menu again, I get the cut-down version I would expect from GDM with only the option to alter volume and network connections. If I click the top bar again, I get a sort of shimmering version of the cut-down user menu superimposed on the original full version of the user menu that never went away. The favourites icon on the left dock are also clickable and hoverable, but they don't actually do anything and any tooltips are left imprinted on the screen. I can unlock the screen again by manually pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 to return me to the original GDM login screen, clicking my user picture and entering my password. I have an unlisted youtube video of most of this behaviour, except there's no recording of me switching to VT1 to unlock again (the recorded screen goes blank for that part). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjocsxBLUpE My assignment of 'gnome-shell' is a guess. As far as I know it could be related to gdm3, the X intel driver, X itself or even the kernel, or some nasty interaction between those.
