Title:
  You can get access to Terminal from lock screen by bypassing it with
  right click on indicators

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As the title says you can bypass lock screen by right clicking on
  indicators several times and if you had Terminal window opened and
  focused you can issue commands.

  How to reproduce:

  1. Open Terminal and play some music with mplayer
  2. Lock the screen using one of the shortcuts (Super+L or Ctrl+Alt+L)
  3. Right click a couple times on keyboard indicator
  4. Now you can use Ctrl+C shortcut to stop your mplayer playing music in Terminal and issue any command you want. You can also open another Terminal window.

  I had no problem to start this way synaptic with synaptic-pkexec
  command and then typing my password. This all went to Unity under lock
  screen.
