Title:
  Lock screen password field does not "capture" key press - password is
  disclosed in background application

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The new lockscreen in Ubuntu 14.04 is really nice, however I noticed (by 2 times already) that the password field doesn't "capture" the key presses sometimes. Key presses are not registered by the field and it looks like it is frozen (except by the cursor blinking). What I had to do when this happened was to wait until the tentative expires (screen goes blank) and then try again - then it worked.
  However the application running in the foregroung (or background, if you consider the lockscreen is on top) received the key presses, i.e, my whole password - you can imagine the implications if it was a chat window.

  I'm using 14.04, upgraded by 04/17 from 12.04 - all packages updated.
