As mentioned in the duplicate bug, if you have text selected, this also happens without suspending.
Also, I've retitled this bug since the bug is much much worse than not taking the input, the input is actually sent to the underlying Chrome window, so people that type their password without paying too much attention are at risk of sending their password over hangouts or similar. ** Summary changed: - Ubuntu 14.04 lock screen doesn't accept keyboard input (until using indicators) + Password typed to unlock the screen is sent to underlying Chrome window -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

This might happen if there's a text selection in Chrome, and also when resuming after suspend. It doesn't always happen, as this is a race condition, but it's easy to reproduce by selecting the location bar in Chrome and then locking the screen. Workaround: click on any indicator in the upper right corner, and close the menu. After that, keyboard input is sent to the lockscreen again.
