Public bug reported:
I have configured my PC to lock the screen automatically after a period
of inactivity. Often when I come back to my PC I'm unable to login due
to gnome shell running at 100% CPU (according to htop).
The only way I can log in is to SSH to the machine from another PC and
kill the gnome shell task running at 100%
Other than noting this only happens when I try and unlock the screen I
haven't been able to find any pattern which can explain this behaviour.
I've never had problems with gnome shell while using the PC.
Some info about the machine Ubuntu 20.04, Nvidia drivers, 4k monitors
