Bug Description

I have two users one set to use Unity7 and one using Unity8.

Switching from 7 to 8 I login at the normal prompt then several seconds later the greeter is shown and need to login again.

Switching from 8 to 7 is similar, login then get the lock screen. In this case the screen is black after the first login until you provide some mouse input.

My settings are set to lock the screen on suspend or when screen goes off

The 7-to-8 issue is a problem with unity8. I've got a branch attached. I don't know what's going on with your 8-to-7 issue, but I can't reproduce it myself.

I don't actually recognize what's going on with your screen in that video -- you have an OSK? With some white box in the middle of the screen?

The OSK is just something else I was playing around with and can be ignored

When it goes back to unity 7 the screen stays black until I interact with it with a mouse move and click, then I get the additional lock dialog

Do you get that same "staying black" behavior when switching between two unity7 sessions as well?
