Something not on this list

Summary: This is what's going on: in iOS 12 (current and final version):

Using: iPAD Pro 10.5, 256 GB wifi+cel

Settings: not using passcode or Touch ID.

Enabled these:
1) Lock screen when cover is closed
2) Lock after 15 minutes.

The issue I am having here is the following:

- Sometimes when I close the Smart Cover (which saves battery) and try to wake up the iPAD I'll need to either press the Home button or swipe up to continue.

I attached two screenshots from when this happened.

You might be asking: isn't this expected behavior? No. In iOS 10.3.2 I would be ALWAYS redirected to the home screen with all the icons. ALWAYS.

Even with these settings.

What I think it's happening here is that iOS 12 is somehow interpreting that closing the Smart Cover means locking the device. Well, that's what would happen if (and only IF) I was using a password (4? 6 digit?) and/or Touch ID. Since I am not using ANYTHING to lock my device the expected behavior would be to redirect me to home screen with all the icons in a split of a second.

And this is what is happening 99% of the time. However for some strange reason other times it isn't. I am not sure if this is only because I was playing some video/audio, or after 15 minutes.

Still I would be redirected to home screen after 15 minutes with iOS 10.3.2.

Believe me when I say this must be a bug, because if someone isn't using any password or Touch ID then it can't be locked and forced to press the Home button and swipe up to continue.

If I don't do one of them then the iPAD will remain locked.

Steps to Reproduce: Not sure how this happens in the first place. So I wouldn't know how to reproduce again.

Please fix this bug...
