Title:
Lock screen can lose focus and send keystrokes to some other
application
Status in Unity:
New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a user that reported the unity lock screen losing focus and
sending keystrokes to the application behind it. This seems similar to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1358504 but that
bug is marked as fixed.
In their specific case they were using chrome with google hangouts
(using chrome's google hangouts extension:
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd?hl=en>)
when they locked their screen. Upon coming back they typed their
password and hit enter, but the screen did not unlock. They had to
manually click in the password field and type their password before it
would unlock. Upon unlocking they discovered that they had a hangouts
window open with a colleague and had sent their password to them (I'm
assuming during that first try when the lock screen did not unlock).
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
$ apt-cache policy unity
unity:
Installed: 7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1.0.1
I'm currently trying to find a way to reproduce this, but haven't
managed to yet.
