Public bug reported:
The Gnome lock screen has caused me a lot of frustration over time,
since I've often found that is unresponsive to the keyboard when I come
back to the system and try to get back in after the screen lock has
activated. I finally realized that this is usually due to the "Software
Updater" window popping up while I'm away from the computer, though it
can be triggered by any window opening while the screen is locked.
To reproduce:
Open a terminal window and type "sleep 15; gnome-terminal", then
immediately click on the upper-right notification area and select the
"Lock" option in the popup menu.
Observe the screen go into lock. Wait 15 seconds.
Press a key like Ctrl or Alt to wake the screen. Attempt to type in the
password (or use a fingerprint reader if you have one). Nothing happens.
Click the screen (or possibly tap/swipe it if you have a touchscreen).
The password prompt will now appear, and it should be possible to type
in the password (or use the fingerprint reader)
This is a very annoying behavior. It shouldn't be necessary to click/tap the
screen to restore focus when the whole desktop has been taken over by the
screen locker.
