I've tried various kernel versions. 4.15, 4.19.44, 5.0.0, the issue persists in all of those. Interestingly enough, it does not persist on my desktop linux which is kernel 5.2. I will try and find a way to update the server to 5.1 at least, but sadly debian is shipping only up to 5.0 with experiemntal repos.
