Title:
  No password prompt is given after locking the screen

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  occasionally when I lock my screen there is not prompt for entering the password presented. Therefore, I cannot unlock the screen anymore.
  The only thing displayed is my Username in a frame, but not the username itself.

  There are two ways to workaround the bug. Either rebooting the
  maschine or suspending it(for which I used another bug in the pwer
  management that enables me to suspend the maschine anyway). In the
  latter  case a new login screen is displayed, very often with a
  textfield to enter the password

  Please notice that this is only one bug in a series of issues with
  logging in in lightdm. I expect the issues to be interrelated and
  therefore sugest to have a look on the other reports as well, which a
  avaliable through my profile. I will provide direkt links later.

  cheers
