Assuming the screen is really locked then this bug is the responsibility of gnome-shell.
Although if gnome-shell crashed when the screen blanked then you might be returned to the login screen. Which is it? Can you provide a photo of the lock screen? ** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1967885 Title: blanking locks screen although screen lock is disabled Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I disabled screen lock from Settings > Privacy > Screen. Even so, I am forced to log in any time my screen has blanked. When I inspect dconf-editor (org.gnome.desktop.lockdown), I see that locking is indeed active. This looks like a discrepancy between the settings mechanism and dconf.
