I think I have a similar problem. It started on 24-JAN-2019 I think. When I return to my PC after a while I hit Escape to get rid of the shield as normal (I don't have a password lock) and return to my desktop but with all my previous running applications missing. The left hand bar is present and I can click on it but nothing happens.
If I use Ctrl-Alt-F1 and enter my password again I am returned to my desktop with everything as I left it and can resume work. I am having to do this every time I return to my PC. I have no custom Gnome extensions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796265 Title: Ubuntu Dock is missing after unlocking screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1796265/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
