Edit 19. Feb. 2015: same on 1.1.2.15

With 1.1.1.x we got a option to keep the display on while charging. https://together.jolla.com/question/37616/keep-display-on-while-charging/

the following behavior occurs with a set lock-code and automatic lock after x mins.

While on homescreen or lock-screen during charge/connected usb sailfish automatically shows the lock-code-screen after x mins. This is the behavior i would expect.

But if you have any app in foreground while plugged in (tested with Messages-App), sailfish doesn't ask for lock code. The app is kept in foreground and you can interact with that just like on a unlocked phone. For lock-code is asked just after leaving the app (close/swipe o homescreen/notification screen). I don't think this is intended.

So your phone is theoretically locked but anyone can use that app like on an unlocked phone. In case of the messaging app you can switch between conversations, start new ones, etc.

If this behavior is wanted anyone should be aware of it you can turn the display manually of with gesture or power button, in that case the phone acts as usual.

I think this might be the intended behaviour. For example for nightclock apps or anything that's not an app giving away sensitive information or allowing interaction with the device. I mean what else would you expect this thing to do?
