compiz crashed with SIGABRT in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler()

[Aurimas Fišeras]

Compiz crashes while trying to change the keyboard layout (Super+Shift L or Alt+Shif L) in Lock screen password field. Using indicator to change keyboard layout works without a problem.

While Compiz is restarting lock screen does not work, so it is possible to access the locked desktop.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Vaclav Rehak (vaclav-n)]

I wanted to add #1603892 as duplicated but accidentally did it the other way round. Sorry for the noice.

[Kostadin Stoilov (kmstoilov)]

Experiencing the exact same behavior on an update xenial install with the following compiz version: 0.9.12.2+16.04.20160714-0ubuntu1

[Likhachev Vasiliy (bessonnica)]

Same on 16.04.1, both updated and fresh netinstall.
Using default shortcuts (Super+Space|Shift+Super+Space) work fine, with any custom shortcut compiz crashes.

[Igor Shuvalov (i-s-shuvalov)]

Same crash on 16.04 when I press "CapsLock" to change keyboard layout. At that moment anybody cat see all my staff on my computer and interact with it using keyboard. https://youtu.be/2KLL1vMM9Q8
If I change keyboard layout switch to other button, all ok.

No longer crashes on Yakkety with Unity 7.5.0+16.10.20160727-0ubuntu1 and Compiz 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160726.4-0ubuntu1

[srfrnk (srfrnk)]

Any news here? This is a security issue since confidential information can be gathered from a locked account in this way. Any hope of seeing a quick fix or workaround?

[Tumbler (zimbler)]

While lock screen is restarting, you even can type something in gedit for example. Ubuntu 16.04.

[Antonis Tzorvas (atzorvas)]

While lock screen is restarting, I was able to "crash it furthermore" and fully interact with all my open windows/terminals etc.
And this happening to an LTS version even after the first point release.

[Igor Shuvalov (i-s-shuvalov)]

Yes, I also able to "crash it furthermore".. It's very dangerous issue, but still not fixed at LTS..
