Hello everyone.
I did know that 17 beta was never meant to be stable - but I hope someone can provide insight into this. I noticed that my laptop appeared to be "rebooting" when I closed the lid. All open windows would be gone, and Firefox would ask if I would like to restore tabs that were open.
Also, when I pressed Super + L
to lock the laptop, the screen wouldn't instantly switch to the lock screen, the one with the clock. It would black out for a bit, then show the account selection menu. I apologize for the not-a-screenshot:
Upon signing in again, all the programs are closed as if I signed out instead of just locking the machine.
It gets even worse after a reboot:
All of the extensions are disabled, and while keeping them disabled does prevent the locking/signing out issue, I would very much prefer keeping them on since I like the Windows 10-like layout.
I only had one other third party extension apart from default Zorin ones, and disabling or uninstalling that did not help.
This is the log.

I just hope upgrading to the full release coming in the following weeks will magically fix the problem. If not, I'll have to format and re-install which I really would like to avoid.
