Enabling the onscreen keyboard in the accessibility menu changes lockscreen design

[Daniel Holz]

After enabling the onscreen keyboard in the accessibility menu the design of the lockscreen is changed to the old design of Ubuntu 13.10 and earlier.

We decide to fallback to gnome-screensaver if accessibility is enabled because accessibility in the new lockscreen is partially broken. We'll try to fix all the bugs in the next days so we can remove this workaround. Marking as invalid for the moment. Thanks!

[Daniel Holz (daniel-holz91)]

Any update on this? Lockscreen still falls back to gnome-screensaver after enabling accessibility.

Up to Wily now, still broken...

[Daniel Holz (daniel-holz91)]

Almost two years later now this "temporary" fallback is still present in the Xenial beta. Any chance that this behavior will get fixed or do we have to wait for Unity 8?

Still reproducible in zesty.
