Recently (past week?), I have been writing in Leafpad and without notice, I get “thrown out” to the login screen. When I login again, whatever I just wrote (before deliberately saving) is gone.
It may be that my cursor has strayed outside of the Leafpad window, but I am not aware of clicking anything and I don’t know anything that – clicked – would immediately bring me to a login screen. I don’t believe I could have hit the new desktop icon because that is in the lower right of the screen and when I just checked that, it held a login screen, not my document.
I did upgrade the kernel to 4.18.7 from 4.18.4, but don’t see why that would cause this behavior.
Anybody else seen this?
thanks.

::ctl alt backspace is hot key for logout. ctrl alt delete is reboot. At least on mine.
You might have a hardware problem. Usually dmesg tells all.
Might wwant to poke around in /var?

::I had the same problem last week three times.
Once was without any interaction from my side. I was copying a lot of files with spacefm and left the netbook alone for two hours. When I returned, the netbook was on login screen.
This box is running on space-jwm and the 64 bit full installation.
Everytime spacefm was open.Best regards

::@Dave, I will check when I am back on that machine. “Unfortunately”, I am in Athens right now and the netbook, where that happened is in Germany.
But the information is good, that there is a logfile. I did not know it. Thank you!@Anti, /home has plenty of space. I was copying from one ext. HDD to another.
