Hi guys.
I have "Automatic Screen Lock Delay" set to "5 minutes" but instead of locked screen I get some apps reshuffled between two monitors. 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.
Anybody sees this or similar misbehavior?
many thanks, L.

No, but I only have one monitor. I also use neither Gnome nor Wayland, so maybe you could clarify those details to get more informed help. Your graphics card could possibly be relevant as well.

- 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.
