I have "Automatic Screen Lock Delay" set to "5

My setup is laptop (AMD APU) with external monitor which monitor is set
to "Primary".
It's mostly Thunderbird which I keep on laptop-display and when this
non-lock happens I find Thunderbird moved to "primary" and some
Firefox/Chromium windows moved from Primary to laptop.
Something looks like seriously fcuked up with recent f35, it was not
weird from the start, updates from recent months introduced this I think.
I say seriously because the fact that "locking" does not work is serious
- Fedora eventually locks the screen but that is not that first "5
minutes".
It seems that it takes a few - how many I did not time - tries before it
succeeds.
I think you need to read the subtext more carefully. That setting is
how long *after the screen blanks* until it locks. The screen will be
locked at "blank delay + lock delay" minutes.
As to why the apps are getting shuffled, that's a different issue.
Maybe when the monitor goes to sleep it appears to be disconnected?
Then anything on that screen will get moved to the other screen. This
will be especially mixed up if the external monitor is the primary
because the primary designation will also get moved to the other monitor.
