Bug ID: 455051
Summary: First typed character doesn't go to password field
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.24.90
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kodyvonbar...@hotmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In previous versions, when you locked the screen and would start typing the
password, the characters you typed would all go into the password field. This
was consistent with how SDDM worked and still works, creating a cohesive
experience. In the new 5.24.90 version, the first typed character doesn't go to
the password field, but just brings up the screen that contains the password
field. This inconsistency between the login and the lock screen makes it easy
for a user to mistype their password and second guess which procedure they
should be using.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock screen, whether by shortcut or automatic timeout
2. Type a character
OBSERVED RESULT
First character typed doesn't go into password field, but only brings the
screen to the prompt with the password field.
EXPECTED RESULT
First character typed goes into the password field, which should be made
visible at the same time.
