As an update:
Removing the additional input source and downgrading from
updates-testing to updates did not help. Cron is also not a culprit.

Hello,
Thanks for ideas; I'll need to check at least reverting to updates and
checking the input source and report back tomorrow.

"problem that often occurs"
It depends. On my desktop, I get it 1-2 times a week, so relatively rarely.
On my laptop, I get it every day. After rebooting (or logging in, I don't
remember which), for a few hours (5-10 inactivity switches) it works OK every
time. After that point, every inactivity seems to trigger the problem.
are there other problems?
Not ones I think are related.
On laptop, the screen gets garbled sometimes e.g. when restarting gnome-shell
and switching between terminals. The same restart or suspend/resume often
fixes it.
On desktop, firefox consumes 99% of CPU if I have facebook maximized (this
has occurred for at least a month now) and some other times it runs havoc in
any case.
does this problem not always happen?
See above. On laptop after a while, it appears to always happen after it has
been triggered the first time. Because it's more easily reproducible there,
I've focused on that (it isn't with me at the moment).
is there anything special that you have on both systems that
relates to keyboard and/or mouse?
Not really. Internal devices on laptop, USB on desktop.
ie, being that i see you are from "fi" land, i wonder if by chance
you are using 'multi language' on your systems.
if so, can/have you create another user as "en" only to see if
problem occurs?
I suppose you mean multiple Input Sources in Settings - Region/Language. On
desktop, just one. On laptop, I might have had two (at least initially after
install I did). I think I removed it. I'll need to check tomorrow.
have you tired/considered setting up one of the systems without
using "updates-testing"?
It has been a habit to use updates-testing (I'm a RHL user for 15 years now,
so I've usually lived a bit on the edge). I could use just updates. I thought
"downgrading" would be impossible, but after googling, it seems distro-sync
back should do it. I'll try that.

Are the periods of inactivity long enough for cron to have run
while inactive? I'm so leery of this bug now, that I think
almost anything strange could be another symptom:

(The title of that bug is kind of misleading, it refers
to one of about a zillion symptoms of the same problem).
Thanks. I don't see any nologin issues at least, though sometimes I've seen
notifications of failed logins which I have found suspect but haven't
investigated.
The inactivity times (esp. with laptop, this is where I've mostly seen this)
have typically been quite short. I think even less than a minute. So I
suppose it's something else.
