  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
