Assuming the attacker grabs my laptop while the screen is locked, it would be nice to know that the wallet is closed and hence nothing can be extracted from RAM. So, disabling auto-close-on-lock would severely degrade security. Auto-open-wallet-on-screen-unlock OTOH does not degrade security as both the screen lock and the walltet are protected by the same password. So, I think there is quite an obvious use-case for this and it would significantly increase security, in particular when the laptop is hardly ever turned off so all the time "at rest" is spent in suspend. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
