Title:
Difficult to unlock screen after removing external monitor
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
The password input window of the screen saver is displayed only on one
monitor. If a monitor is removed between the moment the screen was locked and
the moment one tries to unlock it, the computer appears frozen, although it is
not: it is only waiting for the user to type his password, but the password
input window is displayed on a monitor that is no longer present.
This happens quite frequently with notebook computers. For instance, at work
I use an external monitor in addition to the notebook's own screen. When I
leave, I just close the lid of the computer so that it goes into standby. When
I get home and open the lid, without connecting an external monitor, I just get
a black screen. I can type the password and it unlocks ok, but sometimes I
forget about that and think the computer has frozen.
