Title:
  Workspace view is showing before unlocking 19.04

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is sort of a strange issue and I'm open to any discussion on how
  to further investigate. I lock my screen using the Gnome lock, then go
  away for a few hours. When I return to wake up my computer, an
  instance of my desktop from some time ago actually shows for a second
  or two. After this, the lock screen lowers, prompting for a password.

  This is weird. I swear this was an issue a few years ago and I
  remember a blog post about it that was really popular, but it seemed
  like it was taken super seriously and got fixed within a few months. I
  feel like this is a major security issue because something is caching
  my screen instance and is actually able to show it to a user before
  unlock. The only thing is I can't seem to find the posting, or any
  note that it was an issue at all. I specifically remember the post
  mentioned something about porn as the captured desktop image.

  Again, I can't seem to replicate, and I don't know what program runs
  the lock. I'd love to do a log dump if someone can point me to
  something to capture. I'm just not sure how to describe the issue, and
  I can't really capture the issue with screenshots.
