Daniel, You're right that shift doesn't dismiss the lock screen. I've asked some others to try to reproduce and they have failed also.
I think what is happening might instead be related to me hitting the 'shift' key repeatedly as my screen is going to sleep. It seems that that causes an issue where the there is a split brain on the state of either caps lock or shift. I just noticed right now when trying to gpg sign something that *it* I had to put the caps lock key on *it* also. (this is the full screen dialog for gpg). I suspect that a reboot will cure this until I frantically start hitting 'shift' again when the screensaver is fading out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730478 Title: using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1730478/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
