Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10
I expected after entering my password to unlock to have the screen unlock. Instead I got taken back to the lock screen until I selected switch user and then logged back into my session in lightdm. Logging in through switch user is a workaround for this problem.
