[Bug 1349128] Re: Password typed to unlock the screen is sent to underlying Chrome window

 

As mentioned in the duplicate bug, if you have text selected, this also
happens without suspending.

Also, I've retitled this bug since the bug is much much worse than not
taking the input, the input is actually sent to the underlying Chrome
window, so people that type their password without paying too much
attention are at risk of sending their password over hangouts or
similar.

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu 14.04 lock screen doesn't accept keyboard input (until using indicators)
+ Password typed to unlock the screen is sent to underlying Chrome window

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Unity version 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1 on
  Trusty, the lockscreen sometimes fails to take the keyboard focus away
  from Chrome.

  This might happen if there's a text selection in Chrome, and also when
  resuming after suspend.

  It doesn't always happen, as this is a race condition, but it's easy
  to reproduce by selecting the location bar in Chrome and then locking
  the screen.

  Workaround: click on any indicator in the upper right corner, and
  close the menu. After that, keyboard input is sent to the lockscreen
  again.
