Bug Description

I'm not 100% sure how to trigger the initial issue but after some time working with an Ubuntu 18.10 release (fresh install of 18.04 and then upgraded to 18.10) when I press the Windows key + L to lock the screen I'm still able to see the Ubuntu dock and click on them to interact with the launchers. I'm able to launch processes, see the list of launched apps and stop them, all that with the screen locked.

My current package version is 3.30.1-2ubuntu1

Forgot to mention that rebooting the laptop "fixes" it for awhile, until it breaks again a bit later...
