SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma with X11 
2. Lock the screen
3. Press Escape 

OBSERVED RESULT
Screen flickers multiple times very quickly, sometimes shows the desktop screen for a frame or two but mostly flickers

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be a smooth fade in and fade out which does work for me on Wayland but not on X11 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fresh install of Manjaro KDE that has been downloaded today (as of Oct 5th), locking my screen and pressing Esc makes my screen flicker/go black quickly instead of fading in and out, I can still put in my password to log back in 
I tried downgrading kscreenlocker, libkscreen and kscreen (only kscreenlocker kept working after downgrading, doing it to kscreen only bricked it) 
I looked for solutions on the internet both by hand and with AI when I felt like all hope was lost, tried changing the Plasma theme and it did nothing, disabling the compositor did nothing, downgrading kscreen to 6.0.0 had the screen lock work but pressing Esc still brought the same issues.
Only peripherals plugged in are a BT mouse since I'm on a laptop. Keyboard layout is AZERTY. (Didn't know what more info to give out, I will gladly provide more)
