Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I locked my gnome screen and entered a wrong password 5 times. On the fifth attempted it opens with a wrong a password. I was able to reproduce this behaviour with a similar count of wrong passwords. After this behaviour, the screen will not lock again unless a logout or restart is done.

I have no been able to reproduce this. I do see the password prompt dialog vanish after the fifth failure, but it does not unlock. Further typing re-prompts with the password entry dialog. Are you seeing any crashes being reported?
