Description AL13N 2013-11-11 09:50:20 CET

(i don't know if this is due to an upgrade from mga2)


my wife uses the pc, she locks the screen when done...

1. a while later, i click on switch user
2. then the "switch session window" appears
3. i click on my own name and click on activate
4. i briefly see my screensaver
5. i see a page which has the "switch session window" again

it's like it didn't work except show briefly my screensaver... except that it did work... because if i cancel the window, i see my own name on the locked screen... i can type in my password and get inside.


I had expected that if i click on activate at the "switch session window", that after activating the user, that it would dissappear the window automatically.

it took me quite a while to see that session switching actually worked, and that after activate, i had to cancel the same window...
