--- Comment #47 from Nathan <pokemaster0x01+kde.bugtrack...@gmail.com> --- Comparing the older files on my desktop with the newer ones on my laptop that display the bug, I believe I have found the source of the problem. Between the two, looking at the changes to /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/, the only changes other than metadata.{desktop,json} localization changes were in /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml, which added the lines below. Reverting to the old file from my desktop fixed the bug (i.e. removing the lines setting visible and enabled), and I can now enter text on the lock screen without having to hit tab a few times and/or moving the mouse. --- /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml-old +++ /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/LockScreenUi.qml-new @@ -227,6 +227,12 @@ height: lockScreenRoot.height + units.gridUnit * 3 focus: true //StackView is an implicit focus scope, so we need to give this focus so the item inside will have it + // this isn't implicit, otherwise items still get processed for the scenegraph + visible: opacity > 0 + // changing enabled will toggle if an item can have activeFocus, which otherwise + //keeps the text cursor blinking even when invisble + enabled: visible + initialItem: MainBlock { id: mainBlock lockScreenUiVisible: lockScreenRoot.uiVisible My laptop (as it's not the most recent version of Plasma, so it could be different now): Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
