Is it a known issue that on Debian 13 GNOME that due to inactivity the screen fades out AND during such fade out there is a new taskbar entry?

As of June 2026, there is no widely reported or confirmed issue specific to Debian 13 GNOME where the screen fades out due to inactivity and a new taskbar entry appears during the fade-out. Most discussions around Debian 13 and GNOME focus on screen blanking, lock screen behavior, or issues with display wake-up after inactivity—especially with NVIDIA drivers—but not on the appearance of new taskbar entries during fade-out.
If you are experiencing this behavior, it could be related to a custom GNOME extension (such as Dash to Panel or similar) or a misconfiguration in your GNOME session. Extensions can sometimes interact unexpectedly with power management or screen locking mechanisms, leading to visual artifacts like new taskbar entries appearing during transitions.
Next steps:
Check if you have any GNOME extensions installed that modify the taskbar or panel behavior.
Review your GNOME power and screen lock settings to ensure no conflicting configurations are present.
Monitor system logs (journalctl -f) during the fade-out to see if any errors or unusual activity are reported.
Have you noticed this behavior only with a specific application or after installing a particular extension?
