The screen locks itself too quickly
If you leave for computer for a few minutes, the screen will automatically lock itself so you have to enter your password to start using it again. This is done for security reasons (so no-one can mess with your work if you leave the computer unattended), but it can be annoying if the screen locks itself too quickly.
To wait for a longer period before automatically locking the screen:
Click the icon at the very right of the top bar and select System Settings.
Select Screen.
Change the value in the Lock screen after drop-down list.
If you don't ever want the screen to lock itself automatically, switch Lock off.
