I can reproduce the problem via either of these scenarios: 1. I start typing my password 'just before' p2 expires. 2. I start typing my password 'within some short time after' p2 expires. In other words, 'just before' and 'within a short time after' are relatively short delta time periods. That is to say, I'm not waiting for 5 minutes after the screen has locked to type my password to unlock the screen. Nor am I typing my password within 1 second of the time the lock screen appears (with the password entry prompt). The time period is not exact, obviously. But I will say that I specifically try to achieve 1 and 2 above in order to test my theory that there is a race condition. For instance, I specifically ran the test where I start counting as soon as the lock screen dialog appears (after expiration of p1). I start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three...) and when I reach just before 5 seconds (using my settings) I start to type my password. Doing this I can reproduce the bug a fair percentage of the time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
