STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make sure "Open popup when new device is plugged in" option is checked in device notifier settings
2. press ctrl+alt+del to open the logout screen
3. connect a removable device to usb port or insert a cd/dvd/bd

OBSERVED RESULT
As we can see in the attached screenshot, device notifier overlaps the logout screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
device notifier does not overlap the logout screen.

Hah, wow. Does this happen for every System Tray popup, or only for the Device Monitor?
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2019-09-12 16:05:26 UTC 
If I open any systray popup and then lock my screen, it does not overlap the logout screen.
The Device notifier overlaps the logout screen only if it opens while the screen is already locked.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-09-12 16:27:20 UTC 
Are we talking about the *lock* screen, or the *logout* screen?

Sorry, forget my previous comment lol

If I open any systray popup and then press ctrl+alt+del, it does not overlap the logout screen.
The Device notifier overlaps the logout screen only if it opens while the logout screen is already open.

I have just noticed that this issue not always is reproducible if I follow the steps
while a window is maximized. Therefore, to reproduce consistently, we must close or minimize all windows before to follow the steps provided.

I suspect this would happen with any systray applet, it just happens to be easy to reproduce with the devices notifier because it's hard to bet other ones to pop-up after the logout screen is already open.

system activity window overlapping the logout screen

another issue that seems related...
press ctrl+alt+del, press ctrl+esc: system activity window overlaps the logout screen.
