Patch to fix QML greeter losing input focus on Alt pressed
Fixed in ROSA & OpenMandriva, see attached patch. *** Bug 321375 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** >Status UNCONFIRMED
I do CONFIRM this but. And this problem is still unsolved.
It still exists on latest Kubuntu (13.04, raring) with KDE 4.10.5 (Qt: 4.8.4).
This bug exists for ages it's very annoying, please fix it. (I've registered at tracker to beg you do so).
The way it annoys:
After lock, when you try to unlock screenlock usually have wrong layout.
You change layout and goddammit - the focus is lost.
AND THERE IS NO WAY to put focus in password editbox, Tab-key doesn't do the thing!
So you need to take mouse and aim at editbox. And this problem is 5-10 times a day (as often as you Lock the KDE).
Tips:
The bug is only on computers with more than one keyboard layout.
The but exists if keyboard layout is changed with combination including ALT (like usual Alt+Shift).
Solutions:
1) Do not allow the focus to run out of password box.
2) Use for LockerScreen personal layout (and save it in config or else). So, user won't need to switch layout. E.g. in Windows7 the layout is always correct.
Still an issue in kde 4.11. *** Bug 315945 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 323631 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 325918 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I confirm this bug. It still exists in 4.11.2 Seems that the problem is same as in issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316084 Created attachment 85078 [details] Another focus-related patch (In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 80256 [details] > Patch to fix QML greeter losing input focus on Alt pressed I suggest to use this patch in pair with patch from attachment 80256 [details]. Thanks for the patches! What needed to be done to get this patches merged and released? We had someone working on this, see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/113697/ Unfortunately, there was no progress. If you want to take over with new patches, please open a new review request at https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/ If this way is not work, maybe we can force set focus to password field on each keypress? Seems that similar issue https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316084 about focus in lock screen is solved, but this issue is still active on KDE 4.13 and Kubuntu 14.04. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** The screen locker architecture changed with Plasma 5. The classic screen savers are no longer supported. The 4.x series won't see any further feature development, so this bug report won't be implemented as it doesn't apply to our current version any more. I want to thank you for your bug report and for helping improving the quality of our software and I'm sorry that we were not able to provide a fix before we retired the affected component. |
