    Screen turns on after its been locked, does not remain blank

    In my 18.04 Ubuntu, using gnome-shell, I lock my screen using S-L (it is the default screen shield). The screen locks and blanks and stays like that for a while.

    If a leave my computer and come back after a long time, the lock screen is on and I cannot trust it not to burn my monitor in the long run.

    The same thing happens if:
    1. I lock the screen using S-L, screen blanks
    2. move the mouse, shows the lock screen
    3. lock screen stays forever.

    Is there an option I should set for that so that I can trust that the screen will remain blank? Should I switch to other screensavers?

    This happens on my laptop AND on my desktop

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Some of my relevant gnome configuration:
    I am using a dual monitor and I have the Multi Monitors Add-On enabled.
    I have a selected jpeg image to show at the lock screen
    gnome tweaks -> Workspaces -> Workspaces span displays
    gnome tweaks -> Appearance -> Lock Screen -> Image
    and have installed the following extensions:
    # https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...ystem-monitor/
    # https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...i-connections/
    # https://extensions.gnome.org/extensi...um-workspaces/
