[Bug 1292451] Re: screensaver re-locks itself after unlocking if the configured screen-off timer goes off while screen is locked

 

Update: Disabling automatic screen lock in the XFCE power manager
settings seems to have solved the problem. But this could still be an
issue for others, as long as the functionality/settings are duplicated.

Title:
  screensaver re-locks itself after unlocking if the configured screen-
  off timer goes off while screen is locked

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Set screen-off timeout to 1 minute
  2. Configure screen to lock immediately when screen goes off.
  3. Lock screen manually (Ctrl+Alt+L)
  4. Wait for 1 minute
  5. Notice that screen doesn't turn off
  6. Unlock screen
  7. Wait a couple of seconds (~10 or so)
  8. Notice that screen re-locks itself.
  9. Repeat steps 6-7 and notice that the screen doesn't re-lock itself this time.

  There are two bugs described here: 
  1. Screen does not shut off if the screen is locked manually before the idle timer (see step 5).
  2. Screen re-locks itself after unlocking if the idle timer goes off while the screen is locked (see step 7).
