Bug ID: 431427
Summary: [Neon unstable] cannot unlock screen without a mouse
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: greeter
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: o...@geek.co.il
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
A behavior change that appears to be new (at least since 5.18), is that the
screen locker cannot be unlocked with just the keyboard - a mouse move is
needed to show the password input and without it the screen cannot be unlocked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen (either by waiting for a timeout or clicking the META+L).
2. Press ESC or try to enter the password
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The password input should show and take keyboard input.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Moving the mouse reveals the password input with the keyboard focus (no click
necessary). Interestingly enough, with a multi-screen setup moving the mouse to
another screen reveals the password input the new screen but the keyboard focus
stays on the first password input that does not hide. This is maybe not a great
experience - sometimes I will move my mouse to another screen because the first
screen didn't turn on properly (happens more often than I care to admin) so
having a visible but inactive password prompt is not great, nor is having
multiple password prompts. I remember lightdm used to "move" the active
password prompt to the screen with the mouse.
