Summary: When screen is locked, I must move the mouse before
typing the password
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.18.8
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
After recent Plasma update, I must move the mouse (not click, just move) in
order for the lock screen to start accepting keyboard inputs. Typing the
password, pressing Esc, Enter etc. gives no reaction.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen using Cmd + L
2. Ensure screen is black with just the current time and date showing
3. Start typing password
OBSERVED RESULT
No response to keyboard inputs, unless mouse moved.
Password input box shows and is focused after mouse is moved.
EXPECTED RESULT
Password input box shows upon receiving keystrokes, even if mouse is not moved.
Password can be typed in, user can log in after pressing Enter without ever
touching the mouse.
