2016-04-27 08:39:28 Adam Hayward description Ubuntu release: 14.04 LTS Using: Asus laptop Upon starting a Guest Session the user sees the following warning message: http://i.stack.imgur.com/YmG1M.png "All data created during this session will be deleted when you log out, and settings will be reset to defaults" If the use closes the laptop lid, the user is logged out of their session, hence destroying all their data. This is a bug because by closing the laptop screen, it is not the user's INTENTION to abandon the session. The guest session data should only be erased if the user expressly switches or closes the session by clicking "Log out" or suchlike in the interface. I think a good enhancement would be to repeat the warning message if the user attempts to close or switch session.
