I got rid of this after noticing that my desktop environment registered two screens although I only used one. After screen reconfiguration - switching the (actually not existing) screen off, screen lock behaviour was as it should be.
I'm using LTSP and the "bug" appeared on my thin clients, which are all using laptop hardware or are actual laptops and the second screen (auto configured) was called laptop. On the laptop client which actually uses the second screen, screen locking works as expected. In my case the error is only occurring when a second screen is auto detected but not actually used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Lock your screen -> Confirm that the whole screen goes black [Regression Potential] Visual regressions, shell drawing problems. Part of a big change, many regression potentials. Original description: When I lock my screen, instead of the monitor going, black, the desktop background goes black, but the Unity launcher and the main bar stay visible. When I press a key or move my mouse the "unlock" dialog, asking me for my password pops up, centered on the black desktop background. I think the main issue here is gnome-screensaver failing to fullscreen.
