To be fair, "Lubuntu Next" is not a product we really offer. We never did release it, except as an alpha/beta. It was often very confused, leading to problems like what you mentioned. For the Cosmic cycle, Lubuntu is fully LXQt. That said, you might want to use the Cosmic daily and see what you find. If there's still a problem, you can file something against lubuntu-default-settings.
