Hi,
My system:
hardware: MacBook Pro 15" 2007 vintage, using external monitor and laptop display simulateneously
System Software Overview:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
I am running Spaces with 4 spaces defined. I have the standard MacOS screen saver cutting in after 10 minutes of inactivity and requiring a password to unlock the system.
The problem: quite often if I am in a Space other than the first space and the screen save cuts in, when I try to unlock the system, the password screen does not appear. It is as if the screen saver is locked to Space no. 1 and therefore does not appear, so i have no way of unlocking the locked system. The only way out is to power down the MacBook by holding down the power button and the rebooting. I have tried all of the normal keys that would switch me back to Space no. 1 such as Cmd+1 but all keys are locked in screen saver mode. This problem also existed in Tiger.
Thank you in advance
