Bug ID: 409365
Summary: Cannot enter dead keys or accented characters in
password field of lock screen
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kdequest...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When trying to enter my password on the lock screen, I cannot enter a dead key
(e.g. ', ", ^) or a special character (e.g. á, é, ö, û). My keyboard layout is
English (US, intl., with dead keys), so this should in theory work.
The keyboard layout does work once I am actually logged in (using the virtual
keyboard).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set keyboard layout to English (US, intl., with dead keys) in System
Settings > Keyboard Settings.
2. Set user password to a string that contains accented characters and/or dead
key characters.
3. Lock the screen and try to enter the password.
OBSERVED RESULT
Dead key characters and accented characters cannot be entered into the field,
which makes logging in very difficult.
EXPECTED RESULT
The special characters should be registered properly which allows me to log in
as expected.
