Dismiss call from PIN lockscreen broken?

Running ViperROM: if the phone is set up for PIN unlock, with screen off, I've got an issue with calls.

Screen not unlocking automatically when receiving a phone call

Hi
My Moto G 2014 XT1068 is running CM13 nightlies. Recently I noticed that the screen doesn't unlock when I recieve a call. I have to press a button on the lock screen that unlocks the screen and allows me to answer the call . the button says return to call, also the ring tone doesn't play. The same thing happens with alarms. I have to unlock to snooze or switch off.
I have had a look in settings but I can't find anything relevant.
Can anyone help?

Upon incoming call, phone is ringing but notification with "answer" button appears after few seconds

Hi,
I can't tell since when it happened.
The phone rings for incoming call, the notification with the "answer" button just appear few seconds afterwards.
it is frustrating as sometimes people thinks I'm not going to answer and hangup before I see the answer.
My phone was rooted and I decided to unroot and lock bootloader to see if it is related. apperantly it does not, the issue is with stock locked as well.
does anyone else have this issue ?
anyone got an idea ?
I trired to clear phone's app cache and data, did not resolve.
Thanks for helping or sharing.

Question Prevent screen lock ling during calls

As per subject, is there a way to stop screen locking during calls, whether the call is on speaker or not. It always takes ages for me to end a call especially because the fingerprint unlock on Xiaomi phones isn't the best out there.
Thanks
Use the power button to end the call.
This option is in settings.
