That affects different Google Chrome inputs. Address bar, Google search
bar, Google Keep inputs and so on. It's not limited to a special
extension. (I use a Zenbook Prime UX31A with Ubuntu 14.04 running.)
Maybe other programs are affected too, but I don't think so. Can't
reproduce it with Gedit for example.

Title:
  Unity lockscreen lets applications capture keyboard input

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I noticed that with the Vimium extension activated in Google Chrome, I
  cannot unlock Unity's lockscreen because keyboard input is hijacked by
  Vimium. The lockscreen really should not let this happen, and it can
  even be considered a potential security vulnerability as it might
  allow applications to capture a user's password.

  I have noticed this before as well when using another application,
  though I can't remember which one it was at the moment.

  The workaround is to use the mouse to choose the Switch user-option,
  but this is really not obvious to anyone who might encounter this bug.
