Bug Description
On my 19.04 ubuntu, I unlocked my session, but the login screen is still showing and covers everything else.
The "Favorites" icons are showing and the top nav bar is also showing. I can "alt-tab", but the login screen permanently covering the entire screen. It shows the password field, and if I enter the password the login screen doesn't disappear.
If I click "login as different user", I get to the real login screen, but after entering my password, it get to the stuck state I described earlier.
So it appears the login manager (i'm not sure what it's called) is playing up.
I pressed ctrl-alt-f3 and logged in via the TTY, and killed xorg, which was running at 100% CPU on one of my cores. This seemed to have resolved the problem. The downside was that it also closed all of my apps.
I was running Android Studio with a emulated Nexus phone, not sure if that might have caused some problems.
Please let me know what info I should gather if I see it again, and happy to post it up.
