Hi @dmalick, this is a known issue which was very recently fixed, see here:

It sounds like an updated package with the fix should land some time this week or next.

If you would like a temporary workaround until then, consider installing a replacement screensaver:

sudo pacman -Rsu xfce4-screensaver
sudo pacman -S light-locker

Hello,

xfce4-screensaver update came, and it's works fine.

Once again thanks for your kind attention.
