PC locked, but one screen is showing

[Todor Petkov]

Hello,

I have the following situation:

Laptop Lenovo T540p, attached to external monitor LG, and running
Fedora25 with Mate desktop.


After the recent upgrade from 24 to 25, after I press the combination
for screen lock, the current monitor is being locked properly (blue
background with the unlock dialogue). However, the other monitor is
still showing its desktop. For example:

On the external monitor I have a browser window, on the laptop monitor
I have a chat client. The 'active' monitor is the external one (active
means showing the active application). I press the lock keyboard
combination, the external monitor is locked, but the laptop screen
still shows the chat client. I can not click in it, it does not
refresh (showing new messages), but it's still visible. If I press ESC
several times, the "not locked" screen is refreshed and shows the
unlock.

Is this a known issue, can someone reproduce it?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using a desktop with only one monitor.

activities as if the screen were not locked, then if I move the mouse
or press any key the unlock dialogue appears.

I'm facing the same behavior in my Fedora 25 Mate Desktop upgraded
from Fedora 24 running on a desktop with one monitor. I'm not sure if
this is a new feature or a bug.

Thanks.

I'm seeing the same behavior as the OP in Gnome, on F25 upgraded from F22,
on a Dell XPS13. The secondary display does not properly hide its content.
It's inaccessible to the mouse or keyboard until I type my password, but I
can see what's on it without having to login.

I found this:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/98848/privacy-f25-screen-saver-...

which suggests the same thing happens in MATE when using the blank
screensaver, and that the maintainer is aware; but I can't find anything
suggesting that it's been reported for Gnome. Has anyone else found
anything? If not I'll report it.

Thanks,
Matt
