Public bug reported: Whenever I lock my computer, or it goes into power saving mode automatically, the monitors turn back on and show the lock screen a few seconds later. This has persisted now for about a year, has persisted across multiple upgrades (18.10, 19.04, 19.10) as well as complete hardware replacement (CPU intel -> AMD, GPU nVidia -> AMD). So I'm convinced this is a software bug.
The first line in logging that I can find that seems to trigger this is: "gnome-shell[1967]: ../../../gobject/gsignal.c:2647: instance '0x55daa50a2920' has no handler with id '145952'" I update my system regularly, so this looks to either be a regression, or uncaught bug. I don't know if other things are causing this, but that's the first line (based on time) that is reported when it turns the monitors back on.
