When I then want to do something (move the mouse, press a key), the screen gets black and the login dialog appears (as it should be). So the problem is just that the original screen does not get turned off and screensaver display (floating Ubuntu in my case) activated. However, the locking mechanism gets activated. It does not always occur, but sometimes (and cannot tell the difference in those cases). I tested a few times pressing CTRL+ALT+L when I leave - in those cases always everything worked fine - so this is my workaround so far. I would say, it is not really a security issue, but a "privacy issue". It could only be a security risk, if I would leave some passwords in clear text displayed (e.g. open documentation file).
