keyboard stays above lockscreen when locking

as you can see in:

having the keyboard expanded and then locking the screen results in the keyboard sitting on top of the lockscreen when waking up the device ...

input on the keyboard ends up in the respective app that opened the kbd (in my case the terminal) and gets processed as soon as the app recieves its SIGCONT signal.

Sometimes this also happens on right edge when going to spread - keyboard stays on over the spread.

bumping this to critical as it also seems to be causing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camera-app/+bug/1495437

Just to add in my findings from duplicate bug #1493872:

If the screen is locked after an application has been first opened unity doesn't remove focus from the app. It does remove focus on subsequent screen locks. This is what results in the keyboard not being dismissed if it was displayed prior to the screen being locked.

This can be seen in the application log (e.g. ~/.cache/upstart/application-legacy-messaging-app-.log), where you would expect to see the message:

UbuntuWindow::handleSurfaceFocusChange(focused=false)

Indicating that focus has been removed from the app, however this doesn't happen the first time you lock the screen after starting the app, only on subsequent locks.
