XFCE lock screen is shifted up after waking from suspend?

This one is kinda hard to explain as I can't take a screenshot. Basically, after waking from suspend my lock screen is kinda messed up, the screen is 'shifted" up leaving an empty space below and also obscuring the taskbar.
I couldn't find anything on this so any help would be appreciated.

What's the output of "xrandr -q" pre- and post the lock?
Does dpms (xset dpms force off) suffice or do you have to lock the screen?
Can you link a photo to make sure what everybody is talking about?
Also please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General

(ftr, the thread is almost 3 years old and the OP also hasn't posted since, this might get closed or split off)

I was having the same issue as well, and I haven't been able to figure this out yet.

This thread is over 5 years old, it's extremely unlikely you have whatever the same root cause was, please open a new thread with actual details of how the issue presents itself if you can still reproduce on an updated Arch install.
