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

 

Two questions (without particular ideas of where it's going):
  1) Which apps are the keys leaking into - are they any apps or more specific?
  2) Have you any idea how you get it into the state where it won't take the focus?

Title:
  Screensaver leaks password key-presses through to applications

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
