I think the current default is ok but there should be an option to allow
not locking immediately.

On iOS like current Ubuntu it's hard to follow navigation instructions,
quickly lock the _touchscreen_ from further touches with power button to
do something else on the street, then press power button to glance again
what was the direction or shop of interest. It, like Ubuntu currently,
asks for constant typing of the passcode which gets tiresome when you're
doing this kind of repetitive glancing of the phone while wanting to
handle the phone care free when not looking at it.

Having it optional and enabling the bug #1446635 features would have
best of all worlds: the option to not lock with code immediately, and
the "quick and easy way to lock your screen" of comment #6 both for
default users and those who have enabled the optional non-immediate
locking.

Thirdly, the opening part of 1446635 makes my navigation example super
fast by bypassing the lock screen to go straight to the example's
navigation app, which would be even more efficient than it currently is
on Jolla where one still needs to select the app from multitasking view
- on Ubuntu, one does get to the latest app directly after typing the
passcode / swiping.

Even if #1444635 would be seen as too advanced feature, the fact that
one gets straight to the latest app on Ubuntu from lock screen would
make Ubuntu on par with Jolla in efficiency if the immediate locking
would be made optional, but then one would miss the possibility to
quickly lock the phone when using the option. I just argue that the
double pressing of power button features for flash-opening +
phonelocking does not add cruft since people who don't use it wouldn't
notice it.

Title:
  [System Settings] lock screen not honoring timeout setting from
  system-settings

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in Unity System Compositor:
  New
Status in unity-system-compositor package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Security and Settings I set the Lock Phone time to 10 minutes. The
  phone will correctly lock after 10 minutes. But if I press the power
  button before 10 minutes it should not lock the screen. This is how
  iphone works. Pressing the power button should not automatically lock
  the phone unless the timeout set in system settings has been
  triggered, or if it's set to immediately
