Expo launched with edge binding from locked screen

[Zack Michener]

When Expo is bound to a screen edge (in my case the bottom right corner) and the screen is locked and off, waking the display by moving directly to the edge will activate Expo. The password prompt is displayed in each virtual desktop, as well as the unity launcher and the top panel, as one would see them logged in.

One cannot use anything in the launcher or panel, but information such as what windows are open, and perhaps tray notifications (I didn't test this), are visible.

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this bug on my 11.10 machine. Perhaps it's been fixed with an update. Zack, would you be so kind as to see if this still affects you?

[Zack Michener (zjmichen)]

Yes, it does still happen on my machine, which is 11.10. The screen is off, and you have to move the mouse really quick to the edge, and it activates expo while still locked.

Hm. The next stage would be to test it on the development version (12.04). Do you think it would be possible for you to do that for me? I'll give it a whirl when I get a chance on my install (might be a few days, though).

[Zack Michener (zjmichen)]

Sadly I don't have access to a computer on which I might test 12.04. My laptop is not ideal for running virtual machines.
