Same thing happens for me. Ubuntu 18.04 on Wayland. It also happens with the Vscode snap.

To reproduce this, launch Slack snap app (or possibly any other Electron snap app, not sure about that though) under Wayland and after a moment the whole desktop crashes => user re-appears on the login screen. If launched under X11 Slack launches normally. I've already reported this to the Slack team themselves in April 2018 but soon after that wrote another message informing about this being fixed - possibly close to the final release of 18.04. Now on Ubuntu 18.10 this has reappeared again. However, it may possibly be broken under 18.04 as well now - I haven't tested it for a while.
