Bug ID: 467056
Summary: New lock screen buttons are unintuitive
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The new redesigned lock screen has two buttons, but it doesn't tell me what the
one at the right is for when I hover the mouse. If I click it, it takes me to
the old lock screen style, but entering my password there simply displays the
KDE spash screen and doesn't log in, unless I manually switch TTYs back and
forth which gets me to the new login screen where I can now click the first
button instead of the second.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press Windows+L; or run krunner and select "Lock".
2. Start typing.
3. Notice that there's two buttons to the left of the password bar, but if I
hover the mouse, it doesn't tell me what each one does and the icon for the one
on the right doesn't resemble anything I'm familiar with.
4. Click the button to the right.
5. Put your user password in the new screen (which is the old lock screen
style).
OBSERVED RESULT
Displays the splash screen with the plasma engine continuously running, but
doesn't log in.
EXPECTED RESULT
No idea, but it should make it clear to me before I click it as a hover pop-up.
