Description Florian Hänel 2023-12-05 14:04:50 UTC
SUMMARY
When you have multiple screens and they wake up with different delays, part of the password will end up on one screen, the rest on the next. hitting enter then fails the login prompt

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have multiple screens, session locked, screens powersaving
2. start to type password without waking the screens up first

OBSERVED RESULT
observe half of password on screen 1, half on screen 2

EXPECTED RESULT
password focus should not change 
- OR - 
there should be only one password field between both screens 
- OR - 
the password fields should be linked so that they all have the same already entered characters

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
kubuntu 23.10, plasma 5.27.8

this annoyance has existed for years though

Humm can't reproduce on plasma 6. For me the password focus only changes when I move the mouse, even though the two screen wake up at different times. Maybe this has been fixed?

Also cannot reproduce on Plasma 6. So let's call it fixed!
