I booted Kubuntu 19.10 daily (whatever I last tested so likely same as prior tests) on
dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350)

The ISSUE was re-created on this box. `sudo lshw -C video` produces on this d960

Thus it's likely an issue with the graphics card, or 'radeon' driver, and assigned to the incorrect package...

`sudo lshw -C video` on the original dell 780 (optiplex) is

I also saw on #ubuntu-bugs-announce earlier today https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845865 which has a GIF of someone on 19.10, the issue to me looks related if not the same issue (I marked that bug incomplete as no description was present, the GIF provided is why I added it)
