Let me add a small twist to this...

I have a triple-screen setup on an ATI card.  I have the same issue
above, but I also have another...

Sometimes when I come to my computer in the morning for work, one screen
will not have the input field, but two others will.  If I mis-type my
password in one of the working screens, the input field then disappears.
If I type it incorrectly in the other window, the input field disappears
on that one as well.  Then I'm back to the issue in this bug.  But if I
do type it correctly on either of the working monitors, then sometimes
I'll get another lock screen, and sometimes I'll get my desktop.

Additionally, if I do end up in a spot where I have visible fields, if I
restart lightdm and then login, then I get the lock screen again after
logging in and have to enter my password again.

The Unity Lockscreen has been a huge nightmare for me...

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

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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 :(
