@Tim Wetzel, Or maybe it's not just a matter of it being docked, but rather to do with the laptop lid being closed while being logged into!? I never tried this, but maybe if an external monitor, mouse and keyboard is connected without the laptop being docked, and the laptop is booted and before the laptop even starts booting the OS the lid is closed - so mimicking the way that the laptop boots while docked, but without it being docked. Would be interesting to see if the same problem occurs. If it did this would point to the problem stemming from the laptop lid being closed during login - regardless of whether or not the laptop is docked. I cannot recall the problem occurring while the laptop is docked with the lid open.

Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Internal graphics Intel integrated grafics and dedicated Nvidia Quadro NVS 4200M with propriety driver 390.116. Behavior independent of the graphics used. I do not know what to do now since the latest state of bug #1716160 is "fix released" and so I guess it should be part of the ubuntu version I use? Thank you very much.
