Happened as the screen went blank due to inactivity while I was listening to an audio book.

Same happens in 18.04, a potential issue with the pop up notifications. It happens when they are activated to show notifications when minimized and the screen goes blank. Happens too when the VLC was the last active window and open before blank.

Do you also see this issue with 3.0.x?
