*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

(Not sure if this is the correct package to report this bug to...)
Ever since an update (about a month ago??) I've noticed that when my
system goes to automatic screen lock after not being at the keyboard for
awhile, the dash (ie left hand side bar) still stays visible.
Furthermore you can left click on things in it, and the left clicks
actually do run programs associated with the icons (for example,
ricochet-im). This is a security problem, since people who would not
otherwise have access (ie they don't know the password) will be able to
execute code in otherwise password protected userspace.
What should happen: when the gnome screen is locked, you should not see
the left side bar/dash
what does happen: the left side bar/dash is visible, and active to
click on.
gnome: 3.28.2
ubuntu: 18.04 bionic
