As far as it still being an issue, yes and no... It appears to be behaving just a bit differently now.
The screen does lock, however, the screensaver doesn't show up at all. Once I finally move the mouse or touch the keyboard, the screensaver will flash for an instant, and then the login screen will appear. Imagine a screensaver whose only option was to freeze the current monitor view and display nothing else. That's effectively what is happening. In other words, this is still a bit of a problem. Anyone walking past can still see what I was doing, and read any open documents that are displayed. However, they cannot manipulate anything once the screensaver has "started" (even though it is never visibly functioning) at least not without my password.
