I see this, too, on two different machines (one at home, one at work), both desktops with two monitors. Though for me the delay is usually longer then five seconds. The duration of the delay seems to increase with how long the machine's been up since its last reboot. This was not present when I first installed 18.04 a year ago, but seems to have arisen with some subsequent update.
