Bug ID: 491655
Summary: Seperate inputs with multiple monitors
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: halftough...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Due to the way handling multiple monitors is implemented, unlocking screens can
result in little but unnecessary annoyances.
When showing an unlock screen on multiple monitors, each screen displays
separate password input. This can be little odd, as user won't see changes upon
input unless they look at the specific input that happen to be active at the
time.
The bigger problem is the fact, that if one of the screens activates little
later, application will often switch to the new input, even if user already
started typing the password. This results in input now being split between two
inputs and failed unlock if user doesn't notice it.
There are many ways to fix this. We could synchronize the inputs or just make
sure new one won't be selected if there's already some input in the old one.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen with multiple monitors active (screens can't be mirrored)
2. Let the system disable screens due to inactivity
3. Start typing password quickly, if one of the screens activates little later,
there is a big chance the input will be split between two inpits
OBSERVED RESULT
Active input might switch during typing
EXPECTED RESULT
Inputs should either be mirrored or just not switch
