Title:
The lock screen text box didn't mask the password I typed
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
My laptop was charging, I left it for like an hour so the screen lock
kicked in. When I tried to unlock it, I found that my typed password
was not masked !!
I expect it to be masked of course. I erased what I typed and typed
other random characters so I can take a picture and share it safely.
