Bug ID: 424854
Summary: Some keyboard events can bypass lock screen
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: giogzir...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I just discovered that in Plasma 5.19, hitting Meta key while you're on the
lock screen triggers the Application Launcher behind the scene; after that, you
can unlock to confirm the result. Fortunately, it doesn't accept input while
locked, and I found no such issues regarding other keyboard events. Still, it
*might* turn out to be somewhat serious.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen.
2. Hit <kbd>Meta</kbd>.
3. Unlock the screen.
4. Observe the open launcher.
OBSERVED RESULT
A wild launcher appears!
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't.
