Photo of message and checkbox

SUMMARY
***
I accidentally activated a kind of lock screen. In that mode, it wasn't possible to use most of the keyboard keys, all window decorations were gone and changing focus via mouse or Alt+F2 didn't work. However, interactions per mouse worked to some extent, e.g. it was possible to use the start menu.

On top of the screen, a checkbox and a small message was displayed: "Manuell Ruhezustand/Bildschirmsperre v..." which most likely translates to "Manually prevent sleep/screen lock". A photo is attached (could not manage to get a regular screenshot).

To me, there was no obvious possibility to leave this mode. I had to log out over the start menu and log in again.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Unclear.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be some indication how to leave that mode or deactivate it entirely. Purpose is unclear to me.

This is the Battery & Brightness widget. It shouldn't be doing this at all. How did it manage to get up there? Can you share a screenshot of what your desktop layout looks like?
Comment 2 Thomas Grauschopf 2023-02-20 17:09:09 UTC
Update: The Battery & Brightness widget is not involved. My bad.

I will try to restart plasmashell the next time it happens and report on the result.
