Bug ID: 489671
Summary: Time-based lock screen with maliit enabled has broken
password confirm button sometimes
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When enabling maliit, sometimes the time-based lock screen will just break and
the unlock button doesn't work. This can require a hard reset of the machine
unless the user figures out how to get it unstuck again (which is usually
possible via opening/closing maliit a few times, which due to
https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/issues/223 and
https://github.com/maliit/keyboard/issues/222 is almost impossible to
physically do). Somehow I only ever see this with the time-based lock screen
that comes up after some idle time, not any manually activated screen lock.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a device with a touch screen, enable maliit. Having a touch screen
probably required since it may depend on how a button is pressed later. If
possible, disconnect any regular mouse entirely. Hardware keyboards can be
connected.
2. Set the idle lock screen timer to something short like 1 minute.
3. Wait for the lock screen to come up and wait the additional seconds required
so that entering the password is guaranteed to be mandatory.
4. You can enter a password via maliit, don't touch a physical keyboard or
mouse. Entering a password can also be skipped and sometimes helps with the bug
occurring more often, but that's of course not a common use case. Afterward,
press the password input button via your finger.
OBSERVED RESULT
See attached video. The button sometimes just breaks and doesn't work anymore.
EXPECTED RESULT
The unlock button works.
