[Bug 1291497] [NEW] Locking the screen while in window spread results in Enter key not working

 

Public bug reported:

If the screen is locked while in app/window spread, the Enter key will
not work in the lockscreen. The password field has focus though,
entering the password works just fine. The Enter key will work again
after opening and closing one of the indicators and then clicking the
password field.

Steps to reproduce:
* Enter app or window spread mode
* Lock the screen using the keyboard shortcut
* Enter your password and press Enter
* Click one of the indicators twice to open and close it
* Click on the password field and press Enter again

This has the potential to be a real problem for normal users, as they
won't know what caused the problem and probably would give up and
reboot, losing their unsaved session.
