Bug ID: 458848
Summary: Lock screen timer ignores pen input / screen is locked
after writing with stylus and giving no other input
for 5 minutes.
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: firlaevhans.fi...@protonmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I was writing something in Xournal++ with my stylus on my 2in1 laptop. While
using the stylus, touchscreen input is rightfully ignored (so my hand resting
on the screen does not count as touch input).
When I didn't pan around or anything using the touchscreen for a little while,
thus giving no other input besides the stylus, the screen locker suddenly came
on.
The five-second-rule for unlocking without a password also only worked when I
touched the screen and not when tapping it with the stylus.
This has happened twice today and it's getting a bit annoying.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be on a 2in1 with a stylus (a wacom tablet may work too)
2. (Optional, but recommended for testing): Set the lock screen timeout to the
lowest possible value (1 minute)
3. Just use the stylus for a minute without giving any other input (i. e. don't
touch the screen (with fingers), keyboard or mouse)
(4. When the lock screen appears, tap it with the stylus, then with your
fingers, within five seconds)
OBSERVED RESULT
The lock screen appears despite actively using the computer with a stylus. Once
it appears, using the stylus also won't unlock it within the short
no-password-period.
EXPECTED RESULT
Stylus input should be considered input by kscreenlocker, just like keyboard,
mouse and touchscreen.
