I did not encounter this bug or any other related problem on my system.
System type: Desktop PC Gfx: Nvidia GTX 10170 CPU: AMD Ryzen 2700 Kernel: 4.17.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.17.17-1 (2018-08-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux Nvidia Driver: nvidia-graphics-drivers 390.77-1Even the problem described in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2018/07/msg00059.html is solved.
Maybe its only Laptop related. The bug reporter should give an update if the issue still exists.
