Re: [Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open

 

I agree with Josh 110%.

Kernel bugs are fixed and pushed upstream by Canonical folks.  Why not GTK
bugs / issues?  How about security issues for that matter?  Waiting 5 1/2
years for a security fix is pretty sad regardless of whos fault it is or
who maintains the code.  As a customer of Canonical, I don't care who
maintains the code -- I put the bug into Canonical's bug system, so I
expect someone from Canonical to follow through on it.  Simple as that.

Title:
  screen doesn't lock when panel menu is open

Status in GNOME Screensaver:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  I'm running a fresh install of Dapper with screensaver set to 'blank
  screen', and 'lock screen when screensaver is active' enabled.

  If a panel menu (e.g. Applications) is open and the machine is left
  idle, the screen fails to lock. It fades out after the time period as
  expected, but the desktop reappears after a few seconds.
