[Bug 1447482] [NEW] Notification area is readable/editable while in screen-lock mode

 

Public bug reported:

On the Aquaris E4.5 (ubuntu 14.10 r21, Utopic Unicorn dev, armhf
20150410-232623), I've noticed the following:

even though the phone is supposed to be locked, one can:
- read incoming messages from the notification (top swipe) area,
- change on/off state of bluetooth, gps, wifi, brightness

Expected: when not logged in, one should not be able to see more than:
- number of notifications (possibly type), but not content
- the time, battery life, gps, mobile, bluetooth and wifi *state*, but not be able to switch them on/off

Cheers,
Walter
