Workspace view is showing before unlocking 19.04

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.
