This is expected behaviour if the screenlocker has activated itself
and the laptop later suspends itself. You need to select "Require
after" to make the locker require the password to unlock.
But if you suspend the laptop yourself, or have it suspend when you
close the lid, this shouldn't be happening. What are your settings in
Power Management -> Energy Saving ("Suspend Session" and "When laptop
lid closed") and -> Advanced Settings?
Actually, I was wrong. This is indeed a regression from 4.9. The
"require password after" configuration applies when the screenlocker
activates itself, as I said; but if anything else locks the screen
while it is locked then it should start requiring a password, no
matter what. So "Lock screen on resume" should mean that the screen
is locked and requires a password, whether it required a password
before suspend or not.
There's a fix at

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier.
