Title:
gnome-screensaver locked screen leaks text to underlying windows
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
This happened after my 5y old daughter hammered the keyboard with
random keys, so I literally have no idea how to reproduce it.
On the lock screen, I was unable to type anything, as if I'd pressed
enter but the password was still being validated. Then I hit alt-tab
and saw compiz's ring switcher activate. I tried to type my password a
couple of times but the screen didn't unlock. Eventually I did switch
user and finally managed to log in.
When I looked at the terminal, I realized what I was suspecting
moments before. My password went through the lock window and ended up
on the terminal (and also on Firefox in a Google search form).

I think this should definitely not happen, now the problem is
understanding how it happened. This is my version of gnome-
screensaver:
ii gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-11ubuntu4 amd64 Screensaver
and screen lock formerly used in GNOME
Ubuntu is 20.04 but it's not a fresh install. Please tell me how I can
debug this further, looks like a fairly nasty bug.
