Bug ID: 488593
Summary: Default language on login screen is not English, that
prevents to fill English password field.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: eknyg3...@mozmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have two layouts in my system: English (Dvorak) and another one. The default
is English, as when I log in, the selected layout is English.
When my system starts, I cannot simply fill in the password because the default
layout is not English and does not even coincide with the system's default
layout.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up two layouts: English (Dvorak) and one another language.
2. Log out.
3. On the lock screen, when the default user is selected and only the password
field is displayed, type the correct English words as the password.
I am not sure that these are all the requirements to reproduce it. Maybe it is
somehow connected with Dvorak, as it is not very popular in English-native
countries. But if there were a layout-changing button, it would not have been a
bug now.
OBSERVED RESULT
The login fails because another layout is selected. However, there is no sign
of it on the screen, and no way to change it there. There is no way to even
show the currently typed symbols; you only see asterisks (hidden password
symbols).
It is possible to log in only when you click "other options." There, layout
change is available; I change it to English, fill in the user and password
fields, and successfully log in.
EXPECTED RESULT
An ability to switch layouts on the lock screen where only the password field
is shown.
The current layout should be displayed on the screen as after the "other
options" button is pressed.
Or at least the default layout (or just English) should be selected on the
login screen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

it did not work.
