When I enter lock, either manually (by clicking the lock screen icon) or automatically (by waiting for the lock screen timeout), the screen either freezes with the desktop still showing, or shoes the same grey background as the login screen; it does not show the normal lock screen image. Pressing a key such as space, which would normally raise the screen shield and reveal the login dialog, has no effect. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 switches to the login dialog. I can then log in successfully, but all GNOME shell extensions are disabled. (A simple workaround is then to restart gnome-shell with the "r" command from the "Enter a command" dialog.) I am marking this bug as a security vulnerability because in the case that the screen simply freezes, confidential information may be displayed by the failure of the screen shield to activate.
