Package: cinnamon-screensaver
Version: 2.2.4-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   it might be possible i've found a bug in the cinnamon/gnome screensaver-

   * What led up to the situation?
	Normal authentication process in lock screen
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	We used pkcs11 smartcard to authenticate on the system a long time ago. Since the upgrade
        to jessie we can't login after a screen lock because the the final "enter" command after we've typed our
	personal pin causes the system to switch the normal gdm greeter.
        There are two buttons when you (re)authenticate at the lock screen - "Switch user" and "Unlock". Unlock
	is disabled (Like in wheezy) but it seems that "Switch user" button has the focus and act's on the enter command (which
	should normally just stop the smartcard pin process"
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	A switch the gdm3 greeter where we've to select the user and login again
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	The "enter" command should finish the pin request and call the appropriate pam module to log in

   It may be the wrong package (because this "bug" is also in the gnome-screensaver). Please move it to the right location
   if it is not the right package
