This is what it looks like when Gnome3 (under Ubuntu 26.04) shits the bed and unlocks the secondary display while leaving the primary display locked.

Yes, really. No, power cycling the display didn't change anything. And I had to invoke Firefox from the CLI after using ctrl-alt-T to spawn a new terminal, so I could look up the command to log off the desktop from the terminal, BECAUSE THE PRIMARY DISPLAY IS WHERE THE MENUS LIVE.

The command is gnome-session-quit, btw.

this is a screenshot of my Ubuntu 26.04 workstation, just after entering my password to unlock it. The left (secondary) monitor is active and everything there works normally; the right (primary) monitor still displays the lock screen a frozen cursor. This required a full Gnome3 session quit to resolve (which was only possible by issuing gnome-session-quit from the CLI after using a keyboard shortcut to spawn a new terminal, because all of the normal menus and tools are on the locked primary display!)
