Bug 438498

I'm very sorry that this happened. This issue should be fixed in Plasma 5.18.7.1. If your distro isn't shipping it, please bug them to. If they need a commit to cherry-pick, you can tell them it's https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/c4a3a4e5b974fb309a6da61252b2b830d2d90683

Thanks, fixed. I was between a rock and a hard place: in Plasma >= 5.19 I could not log out and in 5.18.7 I could not log in. ;)

Sorry, but this is still not quite OK: when logging in after a resume from suspend/hibernate one first has to move the mouse to make the textfield/loginbox appear. Then one can enter the password.

The familiar and expected behaviour is that entering the password makes the loginbox appear which is more convenient and efficient.

I rebuilt plasma-workspace-5.18.7.1 with the following patch applied which restores this behaviour:

--- a/lookandfeel/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml
+++ b/lookandfeel/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml
@@ -227,12 +227,6 @@ PlasmaCore.ColorScope {
             height: lockScreenRoot.height + units.gridUnit * 3
             focus: true //StackView is an implicit focus scope, so we need to give this focus so the item inside will have it
 
-            // this isn't implicit, otherwise items still get processed for the scenegraph
-            visible: opacity > 0
-            // changing enabled will toggle if an item can have activeFocus, which otherwise
-            //keeps the text cursor blinking even when invisble
-            enabled: visible

             initialItem: MainBlock {
                 id: mainBlock
                 lockScreenUiVisible: lockScreenRoot.uiVisible

Tested OK with login after resume from suspend and hibernate.

Please open a new bug report about that as it is a separate issue from the one reported here.
