screensaver

When my computer is inactive, I keep getting a black screen and the screen goes into locked mode asking for a password, even though in Power Manager I have "Never" set for actions and monitor and Extended "Lock Screen" is unchecked. I don't see a screensaver, but perhaps that is the issue?

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a bug? Is there a temporary workaround?

I did not see this issue in 12.xx, 13.xx.
