After Ctrl+Alt+F3 during login, Ctrl+Alt+F7 only blackscreens

I'm using Kubuntu 19.10. During the login screen, I've pressed Ctrl+Alt+F3 to fire up the terminal.

According to multiple articles, Ctrl+Alt+F7 should return me to the previous, GUI-based login screen after I'm finished with the terminal.

Instead, the entire screen goes black, with only an _ blinking in the upper left. I can press Ctrl+Alt+F3 again,

How can I remedy this issue?

Assignment of the virtual consoles has changed since Ubuntu 17.10. Virtual console 1 is assigned to GDM. Virtual console 2 will contain your running desktop if you were logged in. Virtual console 3 and higher are terminal consoles.

In previous versions, all graphical sessions were on Virtual console 7.
