Public bug reported: This system is configured, under "Login Screen Settings", to log in automatically as me (the sole user on this computer). If the system is booted cleanly no password is required. So I'm imagining this bugreport from the perspective of someone who never needs to enter a password and may not know what to type.
One day they hibernate or suspend their computer, and on returning to it they resume the password. Expected behaviour here: (after a pause) their desktop appears Actual behaviour here: they see a prompt to unlock their session I couldn't find an existing report of these symptoms but I would argue given the story above that this behaviour is overly surprising and should be seen as a bug.
