Description Holger 2017-11-03 22:01:26 UTC

Hello!

Steps to reproduce:
- login userA
- lock screen via Ctrl+Alt+L
- create new Session
- login userB
- lock screen via Ctrl+Alt+L
- switch to userA
- screen is locked as expected

But there is no obvious way, to get back to userB
- directly switch session only offers to start another new session
- the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F8 will succeed
- userA has to unlock and relock the screen to make it switch back & forth

I speculate, as Kscreenlock is already running for userA, it simply does not reinitialize the list of available sessions?

This is Kubuntu 17.04 running KDE Kscreenlocker 5.9.5-0ubuntu0, but I can't select the correct version

Because that version is no longer maintained.

Overall this is a rather corner case.

Confirmed after upgrade to 5.10.5.1-0ubunutu

Comment 3 Holger 2017-11-04 19:01:42 UTC

This bug also works in reverse:
- Login userA
- lock screan via Ctrl+Alt+L
- create new Session
- login userB
- lock screen via Ctrl+Alt+L
- switch to userA
- unlock screen and log out
- your automatically back to userB
- trying to switch session immediately offers userA though he just logged out
- selecting the non-existant session simply does nothing

This was fixed a year or two ago.
