--- Comment #1 from Andrew O. <and...@aobuchow.com> --- So I've been actively trying to reproduce the bug and now have learned a bit more about the nature of the bug. >From what it seems, there are certain scenarios where my Plasma session's screen will turn black without actually locking the screen. Thus, when this occurs, I type in my login password and hit enter before the screen has recovered from being darkened. The issue is that my session is not locked and thus whatever application that was last focused receives the keyboard input. In my Plasma settings, I have: - Power Management >> Energy Saving >> Dim Screen after 10 min - Power Management >> Energy Saving >> Screen energy saving: switch off after 10 min - Power Management >> Energy Saving >> Suspend session is *not* enabled - Workspace Behavior >> Screen locking >> Lock screen automatically after 10 min - Workspace Behavior >> Screen locking >> Lock screen after waking from sleep enabled - Workspace Behavior >> Screen locking >> Allow unlocking without password for: immediately Ideas as to what causes the issue: - Suspend session (in power management) is not enabled. Maybe this would force the session to always lock after a period of inactivity, as per the "Lock screen after waking from sleep enabled" setting. However, ideally, I don't want to resort to suspending my session (as it'll take more time to resume using my laptop) - There is a race condition between "Dim Screen after 10 min" and "Lock screen automatically after 10 min". I don't know why dimming the screen would prevent the locking from occurring, but the fact that the screen dim's but does not lock is suspicious. - "Lock screen automatically after X min" has a bug, and does not always get triggered. For now, I'm going to set automatic screen locking after 5 minutes, to see if the bug continues. I hope this update is a bit more actionable. If further information is required just let me know :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
