[Bug 1306970] [NEW] Screensaver leaks password key-presses through to applications

 

Public bug reported:

On more than one occasion I have been unable to focus on the password
field. I typed my password in but it didn't appear. Eventually I managed
to get focus on the password field, and unlocked. When I did, I found
the active window had a copy of my password and some other keys I mashed
only during the lock screen.

Just had a friend confirm this happened to them.

We shouldn't allow keypresses to leak through from the lock screen.
