Bug ID: 465859
Summary: Audio applications can inhibit and prevent automatic
screen lock
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: porke...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have automatic session lock after X minutes enabled
2. Use a software playing audio such as
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Shortwave/ and have it play whatever you want
3. Wait the timer for the automatic session lock to pass: while dimming and
display shutdown will happen, session lock won't
OBSERVED RESULT
Session doesn't lock
EXPECTED RESULT
While this behavior is perfectly fine and wished when playing video, it's not
when only player audio.
On top of that, this have a "dangerous" side-effect in that by reflexes one can
type its session password because the screen is still shutdown, and notice too
late that the password wasn't typed on the screen lock but on whatever
application that's on foreground, and that can be eg. an IM client.
