SUMMARY
Two possible ways to reproduce:
1. In Settings/Power Management, configure "Turn off screen" after some amount
of minutes. I also have "When locked: 1 minute"
2. Wait for screens to lock and turn off
3. Start typing your password.
Other way:
1. lock screen
2. press escape to blank screen
3. start typing password
OBSERVED RESULT
The first letter/key press which "woke" the screens is lost and will not be
part of the password. This means I have started to move the mouse, press some
random key and then type the password after the screen locker UI has started
showing.
I also observe the enter key not always registering when typing my password
quickly, but maybe that's another bug/unrelated...
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to be able to start typing my password while the screens are off,
including pressing enter. I'm quite sure that's how it used to work and
according to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472319 it's supposed to be
the intended behavior. Maybe it was somehow introduced by the escape -> blank
feature?

I have two screens, but afaik this is an issue with single-screen setups as
well. Someone on the kde help channel on matrix reproduced the
escape-reproduction at least.
