Package: gdm3
Version: 48.0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am experiencing an issue on my Lenovo Neo 50s desktop. When the system
enters suspend mode and the monitor turns off, the monitor wakes up
again after a few seconds.

The login screen (gdm) then appears, but it is displayed incorrectly,
shifted to the top-left corner of the screen. The screen is not lost; I
can interact with it. The display position is corrected as soon as I
click anywhere on the screen, and the login window snaps back to the
center.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Put the system into suspend mode (e.g., via the GNOME menu).
2. The screen goes black.
3. After a few seconds, the monitor powers on by itself.
4. The GDM login screen is shown, but its position is incorrect and
offset to the top-left of the display.
5. Clicking on the screen fixes the position and returns the login
window to the center.

I suspect this might be related to how gdm3 handles display states after
a resume from suspend, possibly failing to position the window correctly
on the first attempt. This behavior happens consistently on my machine.

Thank you for your time and help
