GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 780662
Modal shell dialog (network-manager) displays above lock screen (if open when locked)
Last modified: 2017-03-28 18:49:39 UTC
Running gnome-shell from Debian package version 3.22.3-2 I left the network-manager "select a network" dialog open, then allowed the system to lock due to inactivity. When I looked at the system again, it had the screen lock active, but the network-manager dialog appeared above the lock screen. And then, after dismissing that dialog, typing did not raise the "shade" to show the password prompt; I could not use the keyboard to interact with the lock screen at all, and had to drag the shade up with the mouse. After dragging the shade up, I could type my password and unlock the screen.
