Hi. Today, I ran "apt upgrade" on my laptop. There were a lot of updates (13.2 -> 13.3). I've noticed that gnome-shell was updated from 48.4 to 48.7.

My laptop is connected to an external monitor via HDMI. When I boot it, i can see GDM login screen on the internal screen, and I can see GDM's gray background on the external monitor.
All is ok here. But after I type login and password, both the external and internal screens are OFF, and I can't use my system. In Gnome Settings, I always turn off the internal screen.

Black screen appeared immediately after the 13.2->13.3 upgrade.

My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad AMD Ryzen™ 5 7530U with Radeon™ Graphics × 12.

I also have an old Macbook 2012 Pro with Intel HD graphics. The issue does not happen there.

I also checked if the issue happens in the prev. kernel 6.12.57. It also happens with the older kernel. I suspect there is a bug in mutter / gnome-shell, but I am not 100% sure.
