SUMMARY
I have Screen Locking configured to lock screen after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Usually, if a video is playing in Chrome (e.g. YouTube), that counts as
"activity", and as expected, it will prevent the screen from automatically
locking if I'm not interacting with anything.
However, this sometimes start failing. Right now, for example, I'm playing a
video on youtube (which actually I put on play just for the express purpose of
preventing the screen from locking), and yet, if I don't touch the keyboard or
mouse in 5 minutes, the screen locks.
I wonder if this is related to the following:
A few hours ago, the screen suddenly froze for a few seconds for no reason, and
then (a) the screen flashed black for a split second; (b) several applications
closed for no reason with no error message (including Chrome, Gimp and a few
others, but not all the applications that I had open); and (c) the task manager
(or whatever it's called) at the bottom of the screen disappeared for a split
second, suggesting maybe kwin or Plasmashell or something had crashed and
restarted.
I'm not sure if that's when the playing-video-doesn't-prevent-screen-lock issue
started.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make sure screen locking is set up to lock screen automatically after 5
minutes of inactivity
2. play a video on YouTube (make sure it lasts way more than 5 minutes)
3. don't touch the keyboard or mouse for 5 minutes
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen locks.
EXPECTED RESULT
The screen shouldn't lock because a video is playing.
