Not sure if that's a bug, but in 5.20 I wouldn't need to click the bar before typing the password: it would automatically select it so there was no need to change from keyboard to mouse. Now I need to click it before typing password. That's not a huge deal. But it was kind of convenient. If you'd like to bring it back, I'd be glad. If not, that's fine.
What version are you using? 5.21? I thought we fixed this...
Well yes, 5.21... what do you mean "fixed"?
I mean we had this problem earlier and I though it got fixed. Or at least, it was supposed to have been fixed!
It seems to be a bit more complicated: I realized that before my screen is disabled, there is a small period that plasma log you out in lock screen and after some seconds or minutes it disables my screen. After re-enabling this, plasma does not auto-select the bar to type.
Are we talking about the lock screen or the login screen?
If by "login screen" you mean sddm then no. I'm talking about the screen that appears NOT when you command to log out but when you let the device alone for some minutes (and then the screen turns off/black till you interact with device again), which is probably the lock screen.
OK so the lock screen then, thanks. Cannot reproduce.
Are you able to reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.22 or the 5.23 beta?
