Description Ralf Jung 2020-08-26 10:30:09 UTC

SUMMARY
The wallet should get locked when the machine goes to suspend, to protect secrets against memory-readout attacks. (It might even be a good idea to do this any time the screen is locked.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open and unlock the wallet.
2. Suspend machine.
3. Resume machine.

OBSERVED RESULT
The wallet is still unlocked.

EXPECTED RESULT
The wallet should be locked.
