--- Comment #2 from php4...@gmail.com --- Just realized something. Normally, when the screen goes to lock, if I am quick enough to shake the mouse, it will unlock immediately without having to insert the password. I assume that's intended. I do that pretty often, when I'm thinking in front of the screen and not touching keyboard and mouse, and I notice that it's going to lock. I'm not sure if the password prompt is supposed to have the time to become visible in that case (or if it's only supposed to show an empty screen and then go back immediately to the desktop as you shake the mouse without ever transitioning to the password prompt screen) but it definitely often does show up for a brief moment, even though it then immediately goes away without having to actually insert the password. When the issue happened, this was one of those cases. So I'm thinking: MAYBE, just maybe, there's a race condition such that, if you shake the mouse exactly at the right (or rarther the wrong) time, just barely after the screen has gotten locked, the system "thinks" that you shook the mouse soon enough to prevent locking, but actually you didn't, so the password prompt is visible (and interactive), but the system "doesn't know" that it's required and therefore ignores it. Maybe it's nothing like that, I don't know, it's just a hypothesis. I've seen bugs this stupid, I wouldn't be surprised. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
