I can't believe this bug is still open. The report goes back more than 10 years. Also the duplicate (bug 4286) mentioned above is incorrect, it points an avifile issue. This is a incredibly high security issue that should be fixed immediately. Not only all the examples mentioned above by meany people, but the more concerning case is when you close the screen on a laptop. Even with lock screen turned on (I'm using the default gnome with Ubuntu) when you open the lid again no password is required. It makes encrypting your disk a bit pointless.

It is still present in Ubuntu 16.04. All as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1124282 "If the Windows window is on focus and i am inactive, then my screen is locked after a certain amount of time and should normally ask for my password. But it only does so if a change the focus to a window other than my virtual machine." but it will be locked after a certain amount of time then and only then you click on some area of the host (it's not enough just to move the cursor outside of vm). Otherwise, you will be able to work inside the vm. Moreover, in this case (in conjuction with VirtualBox 5.1.28 r117968) it is possible to bypass the lock screen and unlock the host without needing to enter a password. All you need is just double click inside the vm window (lock screen will blink and disappear). After that you will be able to interact with the host. Steps to reproduce: 1. System Settings > Brightness and Lock. 2. Set "Turn screen off when inactive for" to 1 minute. 3. Turn on "Lock", set "Lock screen after" to "Screen turns off", check "Require my password when waking from suspend" checkbox. 3. Focus to the virtual machine window. 4. Wait 61 seconds. 5.

So, you can't redesign it to allow two programs to grab the keyboard and mouse? I would suggest that each program, by default, will have the complete attention of the mouse and keyboard.

Yes screen gets locked when menus are open since a couple of Unity releases. But right click context menus are a different story. For example when I have right click menu opened in Nautilus the screen goes blank but when I move the cursor I see the whole screen and then only after clicking somwhere screen gets locked. So you can't interact with programs but you can see everything. Also with right click menu in Opera the screen never gets locked.

[Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when some menu is open

@Ctrl-Alt-L is also broken. You need to close menus and other popups first, otherweise the key combination will simply be ignored. Also, on Multimonitor setups sometimes the second screen still shows its content, despite the lock being activated.

Re: [Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when some menu is open
That entirely depends on how much your prioritize security over usefulness. I would not want that to happen, because I don't have secure things, by and large. I can completely understand other people disagreeing. Ubuntu isn't about prioritizing security over all else, I feel. A shutdown is excessive to avoid people seeing the screen for a few seconds.

[Bug 49579] Re: screen doesn't lock when some menu is open
I don't have a problem with manually locking the screen, especially as I have worked in secure Defence facilities where that is standard pracrtice. But I do have a problem with a software interface that falsely claims to provide a facility which in fact doesn't work correctly if at all. To eliminate the immediate problem, distros could get rid of the broken Lock setting from the settings menu, and instead just add a notice that CTRL-ALT-L (or whatever) will lock the screen. The security issue is not that there isn't an effective automatic lock, but that the software creates a false and misleading impression that such a facility exists. That part of the problem could surely be fixed easily by changing the setting dialog box as suggested. My programming days are long over (anyone remember assembly language?), and I don't know what is involved in removing the Lock setting from the Screensaver/Lock dialog box.

The security issue is not that there isn't an effective automatic lock, but that the software creates a false and misleading impression that such a facility exists. That part of the problem could surely be fixed easily by changing the setting dialog box as suggested. My programming days are long over (anyone remember assembly language?), and I don't know what is involved in removing the Lock setting from the Screensaver/Lock dialog box.

Killing the whole login is pointless because you'd be killing that which a locked screen is meant to protect. Killing just the X session (client) holding the lock is unacceptable because killing a user's apps or shell is worse than the bug itself. If we can get the screensaver to just XUngrabKeyboard and XUngrabPointer before it attempts to grab them itself, then that would be great.

Hello,
when you open a menu of e.g. KDE konqueror, GNOME nautilus or firefox
then the screensaver wouldn't start in my tests. First I thought its
a KDE bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176637 but the same behaviour
can be reproduced with gnome.
Or if you open a pull down menu on a website with firefox/iceweasel the
screensaver will not start.
It is reproducible with installed gnome-screensaver and not installed
xscreensaver so I think its not xscreensaver specific.
If xscreensaver is used you can see the following:
xscreensaver reported the following lines when the timeout expired:
xscreensaver: 20:16:02: couldn't grab keyboard! (AlreadyGrabbed)
xscreensaver: 20:16:06: couldn't grab keyboard! (AlreadyGrabbed)
xscreensaver: 20:16:10: couldn't grab pointer! (AlreadyGrabbed)
xscreensaver: 20:16:10: unable to grab keyboard or mouse! Blanking aborted.
The source code comment says:
xscreensaver-5.07/driver/xscreensaver.c
...
if (! blank_screen (si))
{
/* We were unable to grab either the keyboard or mouse.
This means we did not (and must not) blank the screen.
If we were to blank the screen while some other program
is holding both the mouse and keyboard grabbed, then
we would never be able to un-blank it! We would never
see any events, and the display would be wedged.
So, just go around the loop again and wait for the
next bout of idleness. (If the user remains idle, we
will next try to blank the screen again in no more than
60 seconds.)

I don't know if opening a menu in an application grabs mouse and
keyboard.

It does; it's the only way the menu can receive input events while the
pointer is outside of it. AFAIK this is a pretty deep X11 design issue,
so I'm afraid this can't be fixed easily. Feel free to bring it up
upstream though.

Sorry but I don't know which is the correct component for this topic.

I'm not clear that there is definitely a need for a keyboard grab to

often do.
It may be convenient from the perspective that events are directed to
the menu window.
But in most cases the main application window would have focus and so
the application can receive keyboard events there.
If for some reason a client does not normally receive focus in the main
window, I wonder whether it should negotiate keyboard focus (perhaps
under the Globally Active Input model) rather than stealing a keyboard
grab, which cannot be overridden until the client releases.

It's an inherent issue with the X11 (X.org) design. It has been looked into by a few big developers but solving it is lose to imposible.

Do you have a pointer to an explanation of this “inherent issue” and why it’s impossible to solve? What I don’t understand, in particular, is _why_ GTK menus need to grab the mouse and keyboard in the first place. (But if this is an absolute requirement, surely the GTK developers can work with the X developers to come up with a new type of grab that’s cancelable by global shortcut keys and by the screensaver.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49579 Title: screen doesn't lock when some menu is open To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/49579/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This problem is also present in KDE, so it's not a bug exclusive to gnome-screensaver. As was said before, this is a problem with the way X was designed, and the solutions imply either re-designing X (I doubt there are many people up to such a task) or working around it. For suspend/hibernate there's the inhibitor locks design doc from Freedesktop, that could allow adding some hooks and forcing pop-up windows to close just before suspending: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit It's a different story when trying to manually lock (ctrl-alt-l), since the keyboard is grabbed by the pop-up, no application receives the lock combination and no application can then act appropriately.
