Bug ID: 493931
Summary: KDE Connect Virtual Keyboard is causing restricted
access to keyboard inputs and mouse clicks on plasma
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 24.08.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: plasmoid
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: joserafael...@riseup.net
Target Milestone: ---
***
I discovered an extremely bizarre bug in KDE Connect that is causing restricted
access to keyboard input and mouse clicks on the plasma, preventing me from
unlocking the session or even accessing the TTY!
What happens is that when using PC-1's Virtual Keyboard on PC-2, if PC-1 locks
and turns off the screen and spends a while without activating the screen
again, PC-1 can't receive keyboard inputs for unlocking the screen, let alone
access the TTY!
So I can unlock the screen using pre-defined commands in KDE Connect on the
phone, and I see that no keyboard keys or mouse clicks work
***
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1- connect PC-1 to PC-2 with KDE Connect
2- open a text editor on PC-2 and use KDE Connect's PC-1 Remote Keyboard to
type on PC-2
3- wait for the PC-1 to lock and turn off the screen, and wait a few minutes to
try to unlock it
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma doesn't receive keyboard calls or mouse clicks for any operation, so
you'll have to turn off the notebook directly from the socket, or by using the
shutdown command pre-defined in your KDE Connect cell phone.
EXPECTED RESULT
I can unlock the plasma normally with my PC keyboard
