Bug Description
As I don't think this is a feature, I'm filing a bug report.
When pressing the super key (Windows key, Mod4) when the screen is locked (ie via Ctrl + Alt + L), then the Dash home is shown with the cursor in the search field. This is reproducible. I'd expect to find my session, exactly as I left it ignoring all the commands while the screen is locked.
Another strange thing happened, which I unfortunately wasn't able to reproduce: I was pressing a lot of buttons (cleaning my keyboard) while the screen was locked and suddenly the the desktop showed up. Everything was blurred also the window for entering the password to unlock the screen. But hitting Esc I got the usual lock screen.
