The discussion in 686740 focuses on usability problems, not security
problems. Comment 11 in 1030431 says "typing away at the lock screen
will now trigger the unlock dialog (and redirect input to the password
field)." Does this mean that 209014b083dbe86ed0e0860a6016735571b56f94
is a security fix, and the other screenShield.js commits are usability
fixes? Or does it mean that 127f10e7a8bbbbd089d217f8cd89971c187ae9c3
is a security fix because the "will be dropped in the void"
description isn't always accurate, and "will be dropped into the
Activities panel" or "will be dropped into the 'Enter a command'
dialog box" can occur instead?
