screen is unlocked for several seconds after wakeup from suspend

[Eric O'Connor]

My laptop is configured to require my user password after waking up from suspend (or of course, after locking).

Expected behavior:
I close my laptop screen, initiating a suspend. Later, I open the laptop and am required to enter a password before I can interact with my session.

Actual behavior
I close my laptop screen, initiating a suspend. Later, I open the laptop and am shown my session unlocked. There is a short pause of several seconds (the duration differs) where whatever screen I was previously on is visible, and can be interacted with.

If I was viewing a sensitive document, someone could take a picture of my screen before the lock kicked in. Also, if someone had a quick reaction time, or if the screen lock took an abnormally long amount of time to kick in (it is usually 2-3 seconds), they could disable the screen lock or perform some undesirable action with my user permissions.

Is this (mis)behavior repeatable?

[Eric O'Connor (oconnore)]

Yes, it repeats every time I suspend my laptop.

Version 12.04.

Does it happen when your screen is blanked before suspending?
Do you have a menu open, or is your mouse pointer over a VM or other application that grabs the mouse?

Are you able to reproduce this right after logging in?
Are you able to reproduce this with the guest account?
