SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Lock-screen with screensaver SUPER+L 2. Move mouse + password-prompt appears + screen goes to full brightness (good) 3. Press ESC to hide the password-prompt again OBSERVED RESULT Password-prompt nowadays reappears for a second time pressing ESC to really hide it. EXPECTED RESULT If I uncover the password-prompt, *not* moving the mouse but instead pressing and releasing Shift, a single ESC is enough to hide it again.

That's strange, a single Esc works for me in all cases. I wonder if there's an issue with your input device. Could it be that your mouse continues to send more input events? Do you have another mouse you can try?

I usually run this laptop with a touchpad and an external wireless mouse. Moving either of those triggers the lockscreen-password-prompt twice. In addition, I tried two different types of mice with cable and another wireless - with and without deactivating the internal touchpad. Any pointer-movement by any of those devices triggers this bug for me.
Thanks. Unfortunately I still can't reproduce the issue, so I can't try to fix it, sorry. Maybe someone else can reproduce it or has some ideas.
I've just tried to reproduce this as well and cannot. Does this happen in a Wayland session for you?
Hi, The default graphics platform of Kubuntu is still X11, right? I didn't do anything special to make it Wayland. The issue happens for me in my productive daily profile. But I just now created a secondary fresh vanilla profile and it also happened there (though I was running it in parallel with my main session - I shall reboot tomorrow and give it a try while it's running alone). Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-44-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600 Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Product Name: GE70 2OC\2OD\2OE System Version: REV:1.0
Reboot without my external mouse didn't change anything - the double password request happens also in the newly created profile.
Also tested my fresh profile with wayland now (had to install plasma-workspace-wayland first) On ESC instead of removing the password prompt, the whole screen goes black. But on waiting for about 10 seconds, the password-prompt times out and fades away to show the background, if I brought it up by pressing Shift. Activating the password-prompt with a mouse move, I see it fade after 10 seconds and reappear for a second timer, to finally be removed after ~20 seconds total. So, yes, the bug also exists in a kwin-wayland session. Now that I tried, the timed behavior is the same in X11 - Shift -> 1 fade after 10 seconds & mouse move 2 fades after 10 and 20 seconds.
