Not a problem on live USB stick I installed from. I booted the live medium for Cosmic, set a password for the live user, created 'anotheruser' from the Settings panel, logged out and back in as the live session user.
Clicked the User Menu -> Live Session User -> Switch User, and I was taken straight to the GDM login screen, where I could switch user to anotheruser. And I was able to switch back and forth between the live user and anotheruser without any issues. An oddity is in the live session the 'Lock screen' icon isn't offered even though the accounts are password-protected - only Switch User is present - which makes me wonder if I'm activating the same code path this way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809117 Title: Screen corruption on "Lock Screen" or "Switch User" command Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Click the user menu (top right) and choose either the Lock icon or $username -> Switch User. I expected to be sent to a lock screen (possibly via a blanked screen or a screensaver - I don't know what normal behaviour is for Ubuntu 19.04). What happened was most of the Gnome shell was left up on screen, including all my apps that were running, along with the user menu with greyed-out Lock button. If I click the menu again, I get the cut-down version I would expect from GDM with only the option to alter volume and network connections. If I click the top bar again, I get a sort of shimmering version of the cut-down user menu superimposed on the original full version of the user menu that never went away. The favourites icon on the left dock are also clickable and hoverable, but they don't actually do anything and any tooltips are left imprinted on the screen. I can unlock the screen again by manually pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 to return me to the original GDM login screen, clicking my user picture and entering my password. I have an unlisted youtube video of most of this behaviour, except there's no recording of me switching to VT1 to unlock again (the recorded screen goes blank for that part). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjocsxBLUpE My assignment of 'gnome-shell' is a guess. As far as I know it could be related to gdm3, the X intel driver, X itself or even the kernel, or some nasty interaction between those.
