Public bug reported:
When the screen locks or blanks I can type the password on the keyboard,
hit enter and it returns me to the desktop without issue. However, when
the screen is locked or blanked, the fingerprint scanner is deactivated.
I have to FIRST press a key on the keyboard such as enter. Then the
curtain clears, the password dialog appears and the fingerprint scanner
activates. At that point I can swipe my finger over the scanner and it
logs in. The issue is, if I have to press the escape key to clear the
curtain and activate the fingerprint scaner, I might as well just type
the password as it actually takes LESS time for me as a competant typist
to enter the password and hit enter than it does for me to move my hand
to the fingerprint scanner and scan it to unlock the computer. The
fingerprint scanner becomes moot. We should be able to simply scan our
finger over the fingerprint scanner, or at worst, touch the touchpad to
wake the pc and activate the scanner. (While it would be best to be able
to simply scan and wake, if you had to touch the touch pad, at least it
could be done in one efortless movement.
