Package: xscreensaver Version: 6.02+dfsg1-2 Severity: normal For the past decades, you could walk up to an XScreensaver-protected machine and hammer in the password before the dialog was shown, and it just worked. With version 5.x I started noticing that sometimes it would lose the first couple of characters when doing so (especially when typing fast).
With version 6, it loses all keystrokes until the dialog is actually displayed, which on my system sometimes takes a second or two. That breaks decades of muscle memory and also stretches my patience, since I don't want to first have to instruct the computer to show the dialog before it allows me to punch in the password. Instead, I want to just hammer the password and have it work, no matter how quickly the dialog gets displayed. Like it used to work for decades. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN, TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.61 ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-3 ii libc6 2.33-5 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.27-1.1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.70.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.33-2 ii libpam0g 1.4.0-11 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.50.3+ds1-6 ii libsystemd0 250.3-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.4-1 ii libxft2 2.3.2-2 ii libxi6 2:1.8-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-2 ii libxml2 2.9.12+dfsg-5+b1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.2-1 ii libxt6 1:1.2.0-1 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 ii xscreensaver-data 6.02+dfsg1-2 Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii gsfonts-x11 0.28 ii libjpeg-turbo-progs 1:2.1.2-1 ii perl 5.32.1-6 ii wamerican [wordlist] 2020.12.07-2 ii xfonts-100dpi 1:1.0.4+nmu1.1 Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii chromium [www-browser] 97.0.4692.99-1 ii elinks [www-browser] 0.13.2-1+b2 ii firefox [www-browser] 96.0.3-1 ii fortune-mod [fortune] 1:1.99.1-7.1 pn gdm3 | kdm-gdmcompat <none> ii lynx [www-browser] 2.9.0dev.10-1 pn qcam | streamer <none> ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3+git20210102-6 pn xdaliclock <none> pn xfishtank <none> pn xscreensaver-data-extra <none> ii xscreensaver-gl 6.02+dfsg1-2 pn xscreensaver-gl-extra <none> -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
