Plugging in HDMI during login temporarily revealed screen

[Keller-scholl]

I had left my computer to get water, and when I returned it had gone black, as it normally does. I tapped at the keys, used my mousepad, the normal to get it awake again. At some point, I plugged in an HDMI cable connected to a Dell moniter that I have connected to this computer before. I am not sure if the screen was black, or at the login screen, when I did this. I began typing in my password. As I did so, the connection to the monitor, which had been black, seemed to activate, and I saw the login screen on the larger monitor. However, I also saw the pages that I had open on my laptop screen. This was before login was complete.

I am aware that this probably doesn't represent a serious security risk, but it is problematic and potentially damaging.

I have no evidence that the fault is xorgs, but I was told to put all vision problems
under the xorg package.

I believe this is a duplicate of Bug #49579 -- X locking in unreliable except for explicit locking.

Thanks
