Bug Description
(Not sure if this is the correct package to report this bug to...)
Ever since an update (about a month ago??) I've noticed that when my system goes to automatic screen lock after not being at the keyboard for awhile, the dash (ie left hand side bar) still stays visible. Furthermore you can left click on things in it, and the left clicks actually do run programs associated with the icons (for example, ricochet-im). This is a security problem, since people who would not otherwise have access (ie they don't know the password) will be able to execute code in otherwise password protected userspace.
What should happen: when the gnome screen is locked, you should not see the left side bar/dash
what does happen: the left side bar/dash is visible, and active to click on.
gnome: 3.28.2
ubuntu: 18.04 bionic
