[Bug 1292695] Re: Lock screen isn't cat-friendly (no input timemout)

 

Wait.  Is unity 7.2 targetted for trusty, or did this milestone target
basically just say "leaving screens on all night is an acceptable
behaviour for an LTS"?

Title:
  Lock screen isn't cat-friendly (no input timemout)

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  gnome-screensaver's lock screen has an input timeout, so that if you,
  say, lock your screen and have a cat walk across your keyboard in the
  middle of the night, after N seconds (don't recall how long it is) of
  no input, it gives up and blanks the screen again.  The new unity lock
  screen appears to be missing this feature, as I woke up this morning
  to a password box filled with dots and a screen that had been on all
  night.

  It looks like maybe there had been a failed attempt to address this
  use-case, as once one clears the password field and logs in, a second
  or two later, the screen re-locks and you need to log in again.
