Public bug reported: I close my laptop, which locks the screen. I then open the laptop. Sometimes I must hit the power button to get the screen to unlock. But before I see the password prompt, I see something else.
I see a past random screen. It goes by quickly, in less than a second. But this is still not acceptable. The screen should not show _any_ information before the user has logged in. It would not be bad if I could somehow determine what this screen is, because then I would make sure it is blank. But it seems random. Sometimes it seems to be the screen I had visible when I closed up the laptop. Sometimes it seems to be the screen I had visible at one of the last several times I closed the laptop. It does not seem very deterministic. It is hard to know which screen it is going to flash at me before the password prompt.
