Lock the pc, if you leave and lock the db, if pc is locked, lid is closed and this is absolute a non-issue.

German BSI is sometimes a little bit over motivated ;-)

You don't even need to lock the pc, locking the db is sufficient. The issue allows changing the settings on unlocked databases without needing to re-confirm (at least according to the article).
