[Pablo Catalina <pablo.catalina@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem. It happens randomly.

My environment when the problem appears:
* 2 screens, the problem normally affects both monitors, but sometimes the input box for the password appears on one of the monitors... it is random.
* 1 session (I only have one user)
* normally I have a rdesktop session opened when the problem happends.

$ unity --version
unity 7.2.3

$ dpkg -l unity
[...]
ii  unity                                                7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1   amd64                           Interface designed for efficiency of space and interaction.


I'm going to update to "Landing PPA 004". I'll comment in the next days if the problems is fixed or not.

Title:
  After locking screen there is no input field to type password for
  unlock

Status in Unity:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  *** IMPORTANT **

  *** The fix is not included in TRUSTY. Will be included with next SRU.
  ***

  If you can reproduce this bug please be sure to provide the following info:
  1. Do you use a multi-head setup? If yes, using just one monitor fixes the issue?
  2. Can you reproduce all the time?
  3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that?
  4. Please consider posting /var/log/auth.log (at least part of it, should not contain sensitive information)
  5. Please specify the unity version
  *** END IMPORTANT **

  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 :(
