Screen lock doesn't lock Launcher (left-sidebar) and Status Menus (Indicators)

[Eyal Lior]

After I lock the screen with SUPER+L I can still see the (left-sidebar) and Status Menus (Indicators) and click items. One of the indicators is the Clipboard indicator and it shows me the clipboard items... not good. I can also start or quit running apps from the Launcher. One suspicion I have is the "Keep Awake!" gnome extension I have. See screenshot attached.

Also, sometimes (after many locks and unlocks) it get's messier - SUPER+L doesn't lock immediately but gets the desktop in some stuck mode, and I need to click a sort of PAUSE (II) button that appears (usually not there) on the little menu in the top right when I click the small down arrow. This will complete the locking, sometimes, and the laptop goes into some weird sleep mode, where the only option to wake it up is the power button. Then it starts in a split-second.

Keep Awake! gnome extension (maybe the cause?)

Hello Eyal, do you care about keeping the contents of your clipboard pastes private? the easiest way to get feedback on this bug is to make it public but I don't wish to do that if you've got content on that clipboard tool you'd like to keep private.

Thanks

No problem, make it public.

Sounds a little like bug 1769383, but you would have the fix for that already.

Please try uninstalling all gnome-shell extensions, since we find third party extensions tend to cause the majority of such gnome-shell bugs.
