Certain keybindings should continue to work even when a popup menu is on screen. For instance, the keybinding for showing the app menu and the keyinding for showing the calendar are examples. This is achieved by putting in place a special "POPUP" action mode, whenever a popup menu is active. This mode replaces the (e.g., "NORMAL" or "OVERVIEW") action mode that was in place for as long as the popup menu is active. But those keybindings should not work when the user is at the unlock dialog (which uses an action mode of "UNLOCK"). Unfortunately, since commit c79d24b6 they do. This commit addresses the problem by forcing the action mode to NONE at the unlock screen when popups are visible. CVE-2019-3820 Closes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/851
