Likely a elogind issue
I have the same exact issue w/ my Dell XPS 9700. I initially reported the issue to Gnome but their response pointed back to systemd, or in this case elogind. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/issues/552
Today, while doing some more research into this issue, I found this elogind issue: https://github.com/elogind/elogind/issues/158 It looks like the issue is caused by gnome-settings-daemon and systemd changes, and elogind lagging behind. There is a patch to gnome-settings-daemon, which addresses the issue, though.
