Bug Description

I have recently noticed that whenever I suspend my machine by closing the lid (as I have a laptop), and when I lift the lid up again, for about 2 seconds, before it takes me to the screen where I have to type in my password again to log in, I see all of what was on my screen just before I suspended, so this is becoming a bit of a privacy issue, as I may close the lid because I want to go somewhere and leave it suspended, and then someone can come along, and although they can't login, they will see whatever was on my screen briefly, which is not good for privacy and security reasons, depending on what is on one's screen.

My machine is a Lenovo B590.

I have this issue on two different Lenovo laptops (Yoga 13 and Helix) both running 15.10.

Hi Nikita,

This bug doesn't affect me at the moment (on Xenial). I'm a bug triager for Ubuntu GNOME so I decided to add some tags to make filtering bugs by release easier. Donn, would you mind marking yourself as affected?

How often does this occur and is it reproducible all the time Nikita?

@BrucePieterse: Oh yes, I am terribly sorry, I saw your name next to where Donn's comment was and I sort of assumed it was you who had left the comment, but my comment was directed at him.

I notice this bug mostly all of the time, if not all of the time.

I remember actually having the same issue (though I think it was less often) when I was on Unity. So perhaps it could be something more central that has the bug in it?

How can this be a duplicate of a Unity bug if I am running Ubuntu GNOME and not Unity? It's either going to be a bug in Unity and Ubuntu GNOME, or it's going to be something more central than either.
