After entering the password, SDDM doesn't respond to pressing "Enter", you need to click on the ">" button on the right of the password dialog. This happens: - After a failed attempt to login (e.g. wrong password). The second time you type your password, pressing "Enter" does nothing. I can reproduce this every time. - The first time you enter your password, this bug can happen too, but not always. I don't know why, haven't seen a pattern. I have only noticed this bug in the last couple of days, after updating to 5.17.4 (not sure if it's related). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log out of your Plasma session and go to SDDM. 2. Enter a wrong password -> login failed 3. Type again a password (the correct one or not), and press enter. Nothing happens. You have to click on the ">" button on the screen for it to read your password.
same thing on Neon unstable edition: click on the dropdown to select a user session focus the password field type your password and press enter nothing happens
This looks like the only possible explanation: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/commit/lookandfeel?h=Plasma/5.17&id=e7803ecc58272236a6dd491a9d05cf230202d88c because the patch should have only landed in master as t's a fix for changes in master. The patch doesn't seem to exist in Arch packaging of 5.17.4. fwiw.

After updating to 5.17.5 I still have this bug, although the 5.17.5 changelog claimed to fix it: Revert "[sddm-theme] Fix initial focus after SDDM QQC2 Port". Commit. Fixes bug #414875
Could someone please confirm if this issue is still reproducible?
Still reproducible on Neon unstable edition. Cannot reproduce on Arch Linux with Plasma 5.17.5 or 5.18 beta.
Thanks Patrick, let's reopen for further investigation.
Nate thinks it's a Qt bug. Read bug 415130 comment 14
Same issue as Bug 415130. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 415130 ***
