So I still see this bug on several machines here that runs Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome Flashback. And I suspects this bug causes Updatemanager to fail sometimes when the system autostarts it while the screensaver is activated. (The program is running minimized, but unable to unminimize. You have to close/kill it and manually start it)
