Btw, after install I've made an update and upgrade before rebooting.

It turns out that if you installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using the .iso images released in April 2018, you may kept back with Linux 4.18 and old Xorg display server. I updated kernel 5.0, Xorg, and graphics drivers by opting-in to “hardware enablement” (HWE). In the terminal: sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver- xorg-hwe-18.04 It solved the problem. ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Diego (diego-luna-1711) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853786 Title: Fullscreen stuck in various applications.
