[Bug 1292217] Re: screen lock has triggered but keyboard is still connected to the main session

 

@seb128: I came back to my laptop after having locked it manually, and
having had the lock timeout elapse.

I unlocked the screen, and started using the laptop. 5-10s later the
screen locked, per #1292451. I typed my password again and hit Enter,
and nothing happened. Trying again, I noticed that the password entry
box was not filling up with *'s in response to my typing. I eventually
noticed that I could send other keystrokes and get the window-chooser or
workspace-chooser popups, suggesting that my keystrokes were going to
the desktop underneath. I logged in on a tty and killed the lock screen,
and discovered that my initial password+return had gone to the google
talk window below, chatting my login password to a friend.

  screen lock has triggered but keyboard is still connected to the main
  session

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a laptop which has screensaved "naturally" due to timeout (most
  likely) and it is sitting there showing the lock screen but keyboard
  is still connected to the session, I can alt-tab to applications and
  via IRC i was able to send myself messages (blind) so clearly the
  keyboard is really operational.
