Public bug reported: This has happened three times to me since I upgraded to Precise on Friday eve (3 days ago).
On one occasion I was watching a flash video; on the others I was just browsing the web. This does not happen by itself; I leave the computer running overnight, and my lock screen is always present when I wake it up in the morning. Let me know if you need more info to debug.
