Looks like it's now using unity-panel-service to do the locking and that hasn't got the escape behaviour. I can confirm it.
It should certainly reblank on timer. I also like blank-on-escape in existing screen savers; e.g. if I'm watching TV in the same room and knock the mouse, you want to reblank the screen. ** Package changed: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) => unity (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293185 Title: Screen saver does not resume after interrupted but not unlocked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1293185/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
