[Bug 1311316] Re: After locking screen there is no input field to type password for unlock

 

I just noticed two things:
 - If focus is on a text file when Unity locks, when you type the password is been typed in the text file (even if it's not visible until you manage to unlock clicking on top menu and clicking again in the password area)

 - Sometimes, visualizing a fullscreen video, system lock but it keeps
showing one of the frames of the video making dificult to unlock. The
way I found to unlock is to press ctrl+alt+L to lock and type the
password

Bug description:
  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
