Bug Description

After locking computer via ctrl+l sometimes (actually happened twice to me) textbox on login screen loses focus. And (wow!) entered password appears in the window that was focused in the locked profile. Example: I locked screen when chrome had focus, entered password then appeared in address bar. It's not easy to move focus back to password textbox, but I did it once somehow. OS is Ubuntu 16.04.
