Description andy 2024-10-26 19:26:32 UTC

SUMMARY
When I went to unlock my system today  it would not let me. I could type the password, but pressing enter did nothing, and clicking the submit button did nothing. I could from there still delete characters etc, the screen wasn't frozen, just not submitting. On other screens I could try entering the password there and same behaviour. I went to another virtual terminal and killed kscreenlocker_greet, and then went back and a new instance let me type the password and successfully unlocked the session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use computer for several days, at night turning off screen, in morning turning on screens and unlocking

OBSERVED RESULT
One day it will not unlock when you press Enter after typing the password on the unlock screen

EXPECTED RESULT
unlocks when you press Enter after typing the password on the unlock screen
