[Bug 941618] Re: Screen not locking when hovering mouse over notification applets
Have tested this bug in 12.04 and can confirm that it exists in this release. If screen lock activates whilst hovering over a drop down element (calender, sound, etc), the screen will unlock without requiring authentication. Unlike 11.10, however, the user will be asked for a password after a brief period of time. Before this time is up, however, the user will have complete access to the machine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941618 Title: Screen not locking when hovering mouse over notification applets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/941618/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 941618] [NEW] Screen not locking when hovering mouse over notification applets
Public bug reported: Ubuntu 11.10 screen not locking if user hover mouse over notification elements on screen (User picker, volume, etc). Steps to reproduce: 1: Set screen timeout to 1 minute 2: Wait a minute and allow screen to lock - move mouse to unlock: Password input box displayed 3: Expand volume applet and hover mouse over volume controls. Wait a minute and allow screen to lock - move mouse to unlock: Password input box not displayed but screen unlocked Real world scenario: User's machine is left open to use by others if they leave it alone having performed an action using the notification applets - pausing Banshee, for example - and haven't unfocused the applet. Expected behaviour: Screen unlock dialogue appears regardless of in- focus elements. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941618 Title: Screen not locking when hovering mouse over notification applets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/941618/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
