Interestingly, I just tried using the new Unity 5.8 launcher placement feature today, and it worked the first time. I was surprised, so I went and adjusted the setting again, but I got the black screen. When it works, the screen does not go black at all. It "refreshes" the screen if you like where Unity seems to restart itself. When it breaks, the screen goes black and everything locks up. Also to note that the output to the external display goes (the monitor goes into standby mode) and the laptop screen is left with backlight on, but frozen. I tried to replicate it successfully working a couple more times, but had the black screen + freeze both times. I then tried doing an apport-collect but had the same message "No additional information collected."
