Bug Description

I can choose to suspend the computer, and it works fine. But when I wake the computer up, it doesn't lock the screen.

If I leave the computer and it locks itself, and then suspends (after the given timeperiod) then that works fine too, but then when the computer is woken up, the screen-lock is present. But when I actively suspend the computer myself, the screen lock does not get used.

I found a workaround, described here, which worked:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-lock-screen-on-suspend/16836/7

But it is a security risk not to have this functionality working by default.

I'm on Ubuntu Mate 20.04
