Title:
  unity greeter loses focus. keyboard input can end up in program behind
  greeter

Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Sometimes when trying to login on the unity-greeter the keyboard input
  does not end up in the password field.

  My workaround has been to activate sleep, and then turn the computer
  back on; then the keyboard input ends up in the greeter.

  The reason why this is a security issue:
  After the workaround and logging in keyboard input is present in the program 
I have running e.g. intellij.
  In ther words, my password is there in cleartext on screen.

  Had that been a chat client I would have sent my password to the other
  party.
