Bug Description

I have a laptop system with an additional secondary monitor. I have the Dock configured to show up only on my primary (laptop) screen.

When locking the screen with Super+L, and logging back in, the windows on my primary (laptop) screen get automatically resized to take up the full screen and the Dock on the left vanishes.

This only happens when I have full screen windows displayed on my secondary monitor before locking the screen.

In order to reveal the Dock again on the primary screen, I need to hide/show desktop (Super+D twice) or minimize/reactivate the full-screen app on my secondary monitor.

This started happening after upgrading Ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10.

The gnome-shell version reported by the gnome-shell --version command is 3.34.1
The GNOME version reported by the GNOME control center in the "About" section is 3.34.2

I left the package field blank intentionally because I'm really not sure if gnome-shell is the appropriate package. This is a problem related with: window management and placement, GNOME dock and lockscreen.
