I'm not sure this is a bug. The option is "Always show", so it does always show. The plan is to allow launching unprivileged, "guest" apps over lock screen (think camera, taking a quick note or creating a calendar invite). So the launcher needs to be available - there is (was?) a separate option to disable launcher on the lockscreen.
Not sure if hiding the launcher on lockscreen, when you've enabled the "Always show" option, would be the right thing to do. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645915 Title: Launcher always shown, also in lock screen and tablet mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1645915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
