[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#855902: xfce4: Moving mouse won't bring a locked screen back. Have to use Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F1, which brings the Desktop Manager (such as GDM) login screen.

[Hong Xu]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.12.3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

Wait until the screen is locked. Sometimes need to wait a bit longer even after
it is locked.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Press key and move the mouse.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Nothing happened.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

The password dialog should pop up.

   * Some comments?

This issue does not exist in Jessie. It starts happening after upgrading to
Stretch.

If wait long enough after the screen is locked, I have to use "Ctrl-Alt-F2,
Ctrl-Alt-F1" to bring the screen back on. However, when it is on, the desktop
manager (GDM) pops up, instead of the xfce password dialog.
