Package: xscreensaver
Version: 6.02+dfsg1-2
Severity: normal
For the past decades, you could walk up to an XScreensaver-protected
machine and hammer in the password before the dialog was shown, and
it just worked. With version 5.x I started noticing that sometimes
it would lose the first couple of characters when doing so
(especially when typing fast).
With version 6, it loses all keystrokes until the dialog is actually
displayed, which on my system sometimes takes a second or two. That
breaks decades of muscle memory and also stretches my patience,
since I don't want to first have to instruct the computer to show
the dialog before it allows me to punch in the password. Instead, I
want to just hammer the password and have it work, no matter how
quickly the dialog gets displayed. Like it used to work for decades.

Thanks Jamie, and sorry I missed the FAQ about this. You're right
that one shouldn't be typing blindly, and I'll get used to it.
Closing the issue.
