Bug Description

Occasionally, after coming out of suspend the screen sometimes is unlocked and visible for over a second before the lock screen kicks in. I'm pretty sure I've managed to click on stuff when the lock screen has been particularly slow to kick in.

The screen also shows a message box saying "Computer will suspend very soon because of inactivity" - which needs OK/Cancel clicking as it doesn't go away on its own after waking. Not sure if this is related as it happens even if the problem itself does not occur. Thought I'd mention is for completeness but I think it's already been reported as a bug in its own right.

My computer is configured to do nothing on screen close (it does lock when the screen turns off, which happens on lid close), but to suspend only after 5 minutes of inactivity. This appears to work correctly every time. I can finish using it, close the lid then it suspends 5 minutes or so later.

I'm partly inclined to consider this a security vulnerability, but mainly find it a little frustrating and confusing.
