[SOLVED] tty freezing after killing Xorg

Hello. I am using i3-wm and I start i3 session with xinit. My problem is when I run pkill X to kill Xorg, tty screen comes but it's freezed, so I can't control my computer without a system reboot.

Here is a screenshot of freezed tty screen.

Here are some outputs.

$ i3 -v
i3 version 4.20.1

$ cat ~/.xinitrc 
i3

$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
10-monitor.conf  50-mouse-acceleration.conf
[~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

    Option "OffTime" "0"

EDIT: I was using 5.19-3 kernel, now I upgraded to 5.19-4 and issue looks solved. I tried to kill Xorg after 25 min of usage and tty didn't freeze.

Looks like same issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=278854
