Description Patrick Silva 2020-12-10 10:26:33 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. in login screen (SDDM), use your touchscreen to tap "Virtual Keyboard"
in the lower left corner
2. try to type your password with the virtual keyboard: nothing appears
in the password field because it is not focused
3. start Wayland session
4. lock your screen
5. try to type your password with the virtual keyboard: again nothing appears
in the password field because it is not focused

EXPECTED RESULT
password fields of SDDM and screen locker should not lose focus when we open
the virtual keyboard

Can confirm. This makes the virtual keyboard unusable until you manually focus it again by tapping.

[lock/login screens] Focus password field after virtual keyboard appears

Without this, the virtual keyboard appears and takes focus, which
doesn't make sense:the password field needs to retain focus or else
the keystrokes you type using the virtual keyboard get eaten.
