[Paul Horn <1311316@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the updated package installed:

    paul@paul-ThinkPad-W530:~$ sudo apt-show-versions unity
    unity:amd64/trusty-updates 7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1 uptodate

But I still got hit with this bug today.

Lenovo W530 in Optimus mode, second monitor attached to display port.

Usually only happens when both monitors are active, and when a
VirtualBox VM is on the screen. Today, I was on a workspace that didn't
include any VMs. First occurrence after locking I got a blank login on
one monitor but the second allowed me to enter password; a few minutes
later a second lock screen resulted in both monitors refusing to accept
a password.

unity --replace did restore the ability to login.

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 :(
