I never use my Jolla as a phone (too cumbersome), but I have a SIM card in it that I sometimes use for data.

I could not find my phone yesterday so I rang it from another phone. This is the first time ever it has received a call. The next thing I know, I was using the browser and the screen timed out in about 2 seconds. I went to Settings and the screen timeout there was set to 30 seconds. I had to change that to 1 mninute and back to 30 seconds to get my normal timeout back.

Is this an expected behaviour or a bug? Is the phone call relevant or a coincidence? A forum search for "screen timeout" did not come back with anything useful.

Best guess - you might have hitting the "run an app on top of the lockscreen" bug:
https://together.jolla.com/question/28134/phone-goes-to-lock-screen-when-closing-app/#76200

Fiddling with settings may have just reordered the windows so the timeout didn't happen any more?
Does this seem plausible?

Well, from the points 1-6 in your link,

Cannot be, I do not have a lock code.
Could be. The Phone app was not running, it started when I called the phone.
Could be. I may have accidentally pressed the power button, although I honestly do not remember doing any such thing.
OK
Nope. The normal lock screen showed up. Swipe down, tap on the browser cover, read, "boom", screen goes dark after 2 seconds.
Have not tried.

It may still be the same bug but a different way to trigger it.
