Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
SITUATION:
Created an account without a password and with "Don't ask for a password on
login" checked.
Logging in to this account only requires clicking it, this works fine.
Then after a few minutes of inactivity the screen saver locks the screen.
Now clicking the "unlock" button:
EXSPECTED:
unlock the screen.
WHAT HAPPEND:
Doesn't unlock the screen but fails the password.
Tested with an account with restricted access and with a default user account.
A workaround is to click "switch user" and the select the same user
(without the password) Now the screen unlocks.
