Title basically says it all. I tried googling the issue but all results involve screens freezing, hanging, etc. My system just restarts after a minute or two if I choose to lock my desktop. Anyway around/fix this? I don't want to have to exit properly out of all of my applications every time I need to leave my desktop unattended. I don't actually have a fear of anyone abusing my system when I am away (I trust my roommate), but it does not hurt to practice basic personal security. In other words, never locking my desktop is not an option I want to settle for.

Also, I do a lot of programming and writing and the last thing I want to do is accidentally forget this bug, lock my system, and lose any files I may have not saved.

If anyone has advice, I appreciate it!
