Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

When returning to system after screen has locked due to idling, when I move the mouse I immediately see the desktop. If I click anywhere outside of the running VM I will immediately be brought to the lock screen. But if I click just once in the running VM I will never be prompted for the password.
