Thanks for your response. Sorry for not seeing the existing bug reports. When I lock once, the ui freezes completely and is still visible.
However, on the top bar (sorry, not sure what the specific terms are), the "Activities" button, any open application indicators (the things with the icons and the application name in the top bar), and the date/time disappear, but the keyboard language indicator and other indicators on the top right remain visible. It is still possible to click on the keyboard indicator or top right menu to bring them up, but at that point they can no longer be interacted with. The top right menu does show a pause button instead of the settings/lock/power button. Pressing lock a second time locks the screen as normal. This morning, I tried locking the screen by pressing the button itself instead of using the keyboard shortcut, and that worked the first time, but displayed the behavior described above the second time. I only have gnome-tweaks installed that I know of (for disabling mouse acceleration). In the extensions tab, both items (kstatusnotifieritem and ubuntu dock) were disabled. Please let me know if I can provide any more information to help resolve this, or if this was unclear. I would attach pictures, but PrtSc doesn't do anything after pressing lock the first time. -- 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/1803807 Title: Lock screen doesn't work in 18.10 Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Super+l needs to be pressed twice to lock the screen. Pressing the shortcut only once results in strange behavior. Locking the screen in general is buggy (e.g. dock is visible when screen is locked, once screen is unlocked the dock disappears even after pressing activities). These issues were not present in 18.04. I am on a fresh install of 18.10 with gnome.

Pressing the shortcut once should lock the screen, no ui elements should remain on the locked screen, locking and unlocking the screen should not result in the dock disappearing. 4) The lock screen no longer works. It is possible to view and interact with ui elements after pressing the lock shortcut. It is possible to view the dock when the screen is locked.
