Hello,
I've encountered an occasional issue with Zorin OS 17.1 Education where, upon waking my laptop from suspend, the user screen is displayed for a brief period (approximately 2-3 seconds) before the login screen appears. During this period, the user screen is shown with all the programs open on the screen, unprotected, which raises significant privacy concerns, as any passerby can glance at potentially sensitive information on the screen before the system locks itself.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Suspend the laptop by closing the lid or using the system menu.
- Wake the laptop by opening the lid or pressing a key/power button.
- Observe the screen immediately after the laptop wakes up.
- Issue presence: occasional
Expected Behavior: The login screen should be displayed shortly upon waking from suspend, without showing the user's desktop or any open applications.
Actual Behavior: The user's screen, including the desktop and all open applications, is visible and unprotected for up to 3 seconds before the login screen appears.

Additional Information:
- The issue occurs regardless of the number of applications open before suspending.
- No external monitors are connected.
- This exposes potentially sensitive information and could compromise user privacy significantly.
I am concerned about the privacy implications of this behavior and would appreciate any guidance on mitigating this issue or information on plans for a fix in an upcoming update.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
