Bug Description

The screen contents is briefly visible when switching between logged in user accounts using Ctrl + Alt + Fx shortcuts.

To reproduce,
1. Create two user accounts.
2. Log in to the first user account.
3. Switch to the login window using Ctrl + Alt + F1
4. Log in to the second user account.
5. Wait until the screen lock enables on the first account.
6. Switch to the first account using Ctrl + Alt + F2.

The screen contents on the first account will be visible for about a second before the screen lock login prompt is displayed.

Hey Milfred, sorry you are hitting this issue.

What Ubuntu release is this? And can you confirm that the desktop envirnment you're using is the Ubuntu desktop, and not something else?

Thanks.
