12.04 gnome-screensaver 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 has that bug. Maybe is the same

Title:
  lock screen focus on the desktop instead of password prompt

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occasionally the lock screen does not have focus, and  the password
  prompt does not show asterisks when inputting the password and
  unlocking doesn't work. I've managed to get the focus back to the lock
  screen and unlock successfully, and then noticed that a desktop
  application has received the password entered in the lock screen when
  no focus.

  I've noticed that focus has been on the application that had focus
  before locking the screen. Consider the consequences of this bug if
  the focus is e.g. in an IRC client when inputting the password to lock
  screen password prompt.

  1) Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch), release 14.04
  2) gnome-screensaver (3.6.1-0ubuntu11), light-locker (1.2.1-0ubuntu1)
  3) I expect that lock screen would have focus
  4) Desktop (application) had the focus of the lock screen and it caught the password.
