Description Ben 2023-06-21 11:43:19 UTC
SUMMARY:

Switching between User Accounts is *intermittant*






STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Log into a Wayland user account
2. Switch Users
3. Select another User Account from the SDDM screen to log into
4. Switch Users

OBSERVED RESULT:

*Sometimes* it works, *Sometimes* you get stuck at the SDDM screen, in such a latter case, i have used the CTRL+Backspace key combo to force close the session and re-open the SDDM screen again

In some cases a hard-reset has been nessessary



EXPECTED RESULT:

Should be able to easily switch back and forth from one user account to another

Can you describe what exactly you mean by "you get stuck at the SDDM screen"? How did you make it get stuck, and what is it showing on screen when it's stuck?
