[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #40 from [email protected] --- Once the screen is locked, the password field appears (with an fade-in animation of about 1s), and after 10s the field disappear (with an fade-out animation of about 1s). If "5 seconds" is selected in "Screen Locking" settings, the screen cannot be unlocked (unresponsive interface) after the first 5s and before the disappearing of the password field (pressing Esc turns off the screen then pressing any key re-shows the password field which will then work as expected). Pressing any key once the password field has disappear to show it again will allow to unlock the screen by entering the password (as expected). When "30 seconds" or more is selected, the password field also appears during 10s (plus animations) but the password can never be entered since pressing any key unlock the screen. The simplest fix would be not displaying the password field by default, and only once the locking delay has ended (except if password must be asked immediately), since the screen is unlocked on first key pressed (or mouse moved). It's also confusing to have the password field shown when it's not needed, and some users could enter their password that would display on the current active window (they may not realizing it if they're only looking at the keyboard and not the screen), and if it's a live chat app, the password would be sent to everyone when Enter is pressed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
