Bug ID: 440707
Summary: lockscreen doesn't show password prompt unless mouse
is moved
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@simaj.net
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Since very recently (a few days) I'm having trouble unlocking my lockscreen via
the graphical interface. I can unlock it using a text-terminal (ctrl-alt-f2)
and the command: `loginctl unlock-session 3`
Hmm, after some more investigating, it appears the problem is that now a
mousemovement is required to get a password prompt. It used to be that you
could just start typing the password and the lockscreen would catch it, without
needing to touch the mouse first...
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. lock screen
2. type password
3. ... nothing
OBSERVED RESULT
the screen remains locked
EXPECTED RESULT
password typed is accepted and after the first keystroke, the prompt is shown
with balls indicating the password is being typed.
