Bug#852162: libkscreenlocker5: cannot enter password when two mirrored monitors are connected
Sorry for muddying the discussion. To me, this situation only happens after resume from suspend: - If I select mirroring from SystemSettings and lock -> the input field doesn't give feedback but I am able to log in. - If the computer performs a resume and the screen is mirrored because KDE/Xorg forgot the setup -> this bug: the input field doesn't give feedback and pressing enter results in failure because of wrong password.

If this is a feature, it is a very stupid one in my eyes… But, no matter what, pressing Enter also does not unlock the screen for me. I cannot get it to do anything as long as the second monitor is plugged in. -nik -- PGP-Fingerprint: 3C9D 54A4 7575 C026 FB17 FD26 B79A 3C16 A0C4 F296 Dominik George · Hundeshagenstr. 26 · 53225 Bonn Mobile: +49-1520-1981389 · https://www.dominik-george.de/ Teckids e.V. · FrOSCon e.V.

¡Hola Dominik! El 2017-01-22 a las 08:46 +0100, Dominik George escribió: Package: libkscreenlocker5 Version: 5.8.4-1 Severity: important When I have two monitors connected and they are set up to share the same picture, the password input field in the lock screen stops accepting input. No characters I type make it to the input field and hitting the Enter key tries a login with an empty password. Most excitingly, the input seems to make it “somewhere”, because everything I entered is sent to the input field at once when I unplug one of the monitors. The issue does not happen when the monitors are set up to extend the desktop to the left or right, only when the picture is mirrored. Sometimes, after resume from sleep, KDE forgets that the 2 displays should be placed in "extend" setting and sets them to "mirror", thus this bug. Sorry, I'm a bit confused by Alex reply. Is the issue related to suspend or is it reproducible by activating the lock screen directly? Trying to reproduce the issue I noticed that when using the unified view the screenlocker prompt won't give feedback for the typed keys. This might be even considered a feature, to avoid revealing the length of your password when using beamer and the likes. But contrary to what's reported entering the password unlocks the screen. Sadly I'm not sure if this is intended or not. Can you please check if you are seeing the same behavior?
