Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Hi!

Locking the screen on system with two monitors results in only one getting black while the other keeps on displaying its old content.

Steps to reproduce: Click on System->Lock screen. Firstly both screens turn black, but then one turns to its previous content.

Best regards

Hi,

this bug has disappeared after installing recent upgrades. Can't recall which one it was, however.

Best regards!
