Screen randomly locking and unlocking in a loop

Has anyone else experienced this? It's happened 3 times now. The screen will randomly just start locking and then turning on and off over and over again. Only a reboot stops it.

Verizon Pixel XL 32GB with 7.1.1 Jan.5th update build NMF26U stock/unrooted.

I am using Nova Prime as my primary launcher. Wondering if that might be the culprit. Haven't loaded any new apps from what I was running on my Nexus 6P.

Have you tried without Nova?

Not yet. I did turn off the Nova gesture for double-tap to lock screen. Haven't had it happen again yet.

If it happens again, I'll remove Nova and see how that goes. I just really don't care for the stock launcher. Nova has spoiled me.
