Public bug reported:
As the title says you can bypass lock screen by right clicking on
indicators several times and if you had Terminal window opened and
focused you can issue commands.
How to reproduce:
1. Open Terminal and play some music with mplayer
2. Lock the screen using one of the shortcuts (Super+L or Ctrl+Alt+L)
3. Right click a couple times on keyboard indicator
4. Now you can use Ctrl+C shortcut to stop your mplayer playing music in
Terminal and issue any command you want. You can also open another Terminal
window.
I had no problem to start this way synaptic with synaptic-pkexec command
and then typing my password. This all went to Unity under lock screen.
