Fixed by disabling D3D9Ex (RT-30352).

Based on performance numbers (see RT-27508) there is also good reason to disable D3D9Ex. I will file a follow-on issue to consider re-enabling it if the screen lock regression and the performance regression can both be resolved.

I can confirm this behavior and it is related to the recently enabled D3D 9Ex code in the prism D3D pipeline. As a workaround, you can disable this via: -Dprism.disableD3D9Ex=true If we cannot resolve this soon, we may need to disable it by default until such time as it can be fixed.
