Description Dmitry Sharshakov 2022-09-25 12:00:03 UTC

SUMMARY
When I use Wacom Intuos BT M tablet to either interact with the desktop, Krita or Xournal++ my computer keeps turning the screen off after 1 minute timeout I specified. Tablet events do not count as activity unlike mouse movements, which prevent sleep.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable "Manually block sleep and screen locking"
2. Verify that while you use mouse screen stays on
3. Do nothing for a timeout you set in System Settings, observe screen locking
4. Unlock
5. Try the same while drawing in Krita with Wacom
6. See that screen locks, tablet events didn't prevent locking

OBSERVED RESULT
Screen locks while drawing

EXPECTED RESULT
Screen stays unlocked while drawing, as it's user activity

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The tablet is connected with USB, uses stock kernel drivers as by default in Fedora.
Using Plasma Wayland session

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks for the bug report, and I'm very sorry we weren't able to get to this until now. A lot has changed since the issue was reported; can I ask you to check and see if it still happens in Plasma 6.3.5 or later in a Wayland session? That includes much better tablet support. Thanks a lot!
