SUMMARY 1. Locked screen. I swipe a bit on the touchpad, the password prompt opens. 2. I hold my finger on the fingerprint reader (working). 3. The fingerprint is not detected, failing in a pretty high interval 4. The area below the password field fills up with "Could not detect Fingerprint" messages on top of each other OBSERVED RESULT cluttered area, overlaying important things. EXPECTED RESULT Only one error message should be shown. 0. Fingerprint not detected 1. Error message appears 2. Trying again, fingerprint not detected again 3. Previous error message is cleared 4. New error message appears This could also be animated, but not important. Just clear the recent error messages to avoid this Specified App: kscreenlocker-5.27.5-1.fc38.x86_64 --- Software --- OS: Fedora Linux 38.20230522.0 (Kinoite) KDE Plasma: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks: 5.106.0 Qt: 5.15.9 Kernel: 6.2.15-300.fc38.x86_64 Compositor: wayland

Git commit bfcc8b7f62310b06827c59dbbc0deb7f486a3833 by Nate Graham. Committed on 20/09/2023 at 18:27. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. lockscreen: Bounce on repeated identical messages Currently repeated messages from the backend stack up, which presents a rather confusing and redundant UX. Instead, detect when the existing message text already contains the newly-sent text, and if it does, make it do a fancy little bounce instead of appending the same text.
