[Bug 1321043] Re: [regression] lock screen bypass with touchpad
** Description changed:
+ [Inpact]
+ Using 3/4-fingers gestures in touchpads when unity is locked might make the switcher or the dash to show up
+
+ [Test case]
+ 1) Lock the unity screen with Super+L
+ 2) Use the [1] three fingers gesture to show the switcher or the four fingers tap to
+ show the dash
+ 3) Nothing should be shown.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ There's basically no regression potential. Geistures are just disabled when the screen is locked.
+
+ [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch#Supported_Gestures

László Gyaraki has reported a lock screen bypass using the touchpad; his
video appears to use three-finger or four-finger use of his touchpad in
conjunction with some gestures to bring up windows from the locked
session.
His demonstration video can be found here:
