[Bug 1311403] Re: Can't type password after resume.

 

This has happened to me a couple of times after resuming from suspend
(opening the laptop's lid).

Sometimes there is a delay before the lock screen is displayed -- your
session is visible for a second or so.

Once I managed to focus on a terminal window before the lock screen
appeared, and I was unable to type my password in the password field. I
managed to work around this somehow (unfortunately I don't remember how)
and discovered that all characters I had typed were entered into the
terminal window.

Looks like a serious security risk.
