Bug Description
When my machine comes out of suspend, I am shown the unity lockscreen. However, occasionally I am unable to enter my password since the password box is not given focus. Clicking with the mouse in the password box also doesn't help.
I've found that clicking the settings cog (top right) twice allows me to regain control of the focus and enter my password.
Aside from the inability to enter my password in the password box, it seems that simply typing my password (or in fact any text) results in those keystrokes being passed to the full-screen window *behind* the greeter. This should not be possible and is a security issue: imagine if my full-screen console was connected to a remote shared session, or was running an irc client, etc.).

It's actually unity showing a lock screen here, reassigning.
