Bug ID: 476086
Summary: Lock screen password prompt always takes keyboard
layout from last active app
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I configure multiple keyboard layouts and set the switching policy to be per
application, once the screen locks, the password prompt will use the layout of
the window that was last active instead of the first (main) layout, and will
not remember the last layout used for the screen lock prompt if triggered again
either.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to system settings -> Input devices -> Keyboard.
2. Tick "Configure layouts" and add some additional layout to whatever is the
current one.
3. Where it says "switching policy", select "Application".
4. Launch some random app that would allow typing on it.
5. Switch the layout to the non-default one in that app.
6. Lock the screen using windows+L, or krunner, or similar.
7. After the screen is locked, start typing to input your password.
Optionally:
8. Change the layout inside the lock screen password prompt.
9. Enter your password so that the screen unlocks.
10. Lock the screen again, without switching to another app so that the same
app would be the last active one as in the first time the screen was locked.
OBSERVED RESULT
The password prompt has the layout of the app that was last active. This will
also be the case if I change the layout inside the password prompt and then
lock the screen again (i.e. doesn't remember the layout for the password
prompt).
EXPECTED RESULT
The password prompt should use the default layout, regardless of which app was
active at the moment the screen was locked. And if it doesn't, and my switching
policy is per application, then it should remember the layout that was last
used for the lockscreen password prompt.
