Bug ID: 440677
Summary: Lockscreen password promt doesn't switch layouts after
changing TTY
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I lock the screen and switch to a different TTY and back, the password
prompt will not accept keyboard shortcuts for changing the keyboard layout
(language), potentially leaving users locked out if they don't have a mouse
with which to change the layout to one with which the password could be typed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure more than 1 keyboard layout, with the switching shortcut set to
Alt + Shift.
2. Lock the screen (Ctrl + L).
3. Switch to a different TTY (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F6).
4. Switch back to the TTY where KDE was running and which currently has a
locked screen.
5. Try changing the keyboard layout in the password prompt.
