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.
