Description Matthias Clasen 2012-09-23 18:17:17 UTC 
When I am on the lock screen (ie shield is up), and hit escape twice, quickly (so that the shield comes halfway down, and then goes back up), I end up with the focus not on the password entry. This does not happen when I allow the shield to go all the way down before hitting escape again.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-24 11:59:56 UTC 
When I get to this state, hitting escape again will also not bring down the shield anymore.

There's also problems when hitting escape multiple times quickly while raising the shield. At least once, this made my shell crash and burn.
Comment 2 Matteo Bertini 2013-01-29 10:39:29 UTC 
I have a very similar problem, but I have not found a way to have back the focus on the password entry field.

Usually I'm forced to kill gnome-session from ssh (given the fact it intercepts ctrl-alt-F1)
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2013-02-12 03:51:00 UTC 
I can't reproduce the original issue anymore.
