Fresh install of 20.04 fixed the issue. Probably previously I had something installed which was triggering it.

It may take few login attempts to actually login back. I have HDMI Tv attached to a Shuttle pc with Intel graphics. Box is always ON but tv is ON amd OFF as needed. Every time I turn tv ON and try to do something and use ctrl + c it would restart gnome session. After login it seem to work fine and ctrl+c does not break anything. Then the next day the similar thing happens.
