TL;DR
If you have multiple keyboard layouts and go to Settings->Region and language
and remove the active one, session crashes and you are prompted to enter your
password again.
How to reproduce :
Very easy, add a keyboard layout (Settings->Region and language) by clicking
the [+] button, pick your favorite and make it the active one (or by going to
the top bar and clicking on it or by pressing Meta+Space), now make sure you
did this correctly by typing some text with the new layout.
Once you are ready to crash your session get back to the settings, click on
your active keyboard layout and click the [-] button to remove the layout, your
computer will freeze for a few seconds (at least mine did) then the screen goes
black and puts you on the session login page.
Instead it should simply switch you on the next available one or ask you to
pick another one before removing it.
I have Ubuntu 17.10 on a Thinkpad, everything is up-to-date.
The bug itself isn't very important but could be frustrating if a user
has unsaved work.
Thanks to all of you for your work, i don't miss Windows
