Does anyone experience this bug in which the wallet periodically becomes unlocked and has to be relocked manually?
Running on Windows 1.1.3.8c.

I've noticed it twice now in the last few weeks.

I have a tiny bit of info on this, so I lean towards this not being a bug.

We only unlock your wallet with the crypted passphrase if we receive a boolean "unlocked" state from the wallet on boot.

Then we re-lock it if it was "locked" to begin with.

So I believe what is happening is at one point you must have typed 'walletpassphrase phrase 99999' or something, and that left the wallet unlocked.
Then you restarted the wallet and entered the passphrase.  So we unlocked it, tested it, and left it unlocked.

To verify the code is working properly, lock the wallet, close the wallet, start the wallet, enter the passphrase and it should still be in the locked state.

It will only unlock during PODC updates.

I am unable to reproduce this as a bug. 

I just discovered that my wallet (Windows 10 GUI) was unlocked again. Some days before I locked it and I had it closed tonight. I started it today in the morning and entered the passphrase in the prompt. I'm pretty sure it stayed locked after that. Now in the evening it must have somehow become unlocked again. Cannot find anything in the log..
