I'm using two screens and I've found that usually this blocks on one screen first, and if I move the mouse to the other screen, it's not blocked on that screen. But if I move the mouse between the screens again it blocks. Both screens will be blocked after I lock the screen after the "one screen blocked" situation.
I've also figured out that, when I notice this happening on the one screen, I can log in on the other and, using xkill, kill the top bar (status bar?) and that will keep this from happening next time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and kill X or reboot to get in again. The problem is actually that I can't type in the password because the text input field is no longer there. See attached picture.
