STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. in login screen (SDDM), use your touchscreen to tap "Virtual Keyboard" in the lower left corner 2. try to type your password with the virtual keyboard: nothing appears in the password field because it is not focused 3. start Wayland session 4. lock your screen 5. try to type your password with the virtual keyboard: again nothing appears in the password field because it is not focused EXPECTED RESULT password fields of SDDM and screen locker should not lose focus when we open the virtual keyboard SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Can confirm. This makes the virtual keyboard unusable until you manually focus it again by tapping.

Git commit 1a60087b87d11f150c233dfeca685ee565ee03e7 by Nate Graham. Committed on 15/01/2021 at 16:37. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [lock/login screens] Focus password field after virtual keyboard appears Without this, the virtual keyboard appears and takes focus, which doesn't make sense:the password field needs to retain focus or else the keystrokes you type using the virtual keyboard get eaten.
