Description Frank Griffin 2016-11-11 16:31:40 CET 
For the last week or so, if you suspend Plasma and then click the power button to get the password prompt screen to unlock the desktop, the resulting screen does not paint window events.

The mouse cursor is visible and moves, but clicking on the password field does not appear visually to give that field focus.  However, the field does in fact have the focus.  If you type a password, the characters will not be painted in the field, but if you follow the password with ENTER, the screen unlocks.

So, in fact, clicking on the field does give it the focus and the typed characters are received and processed, but there is no visual indication of this.

Unfortunately, anyone who doesn't figure this out will only see that there is no way to unlock the screen.

Yes.  After months of this, I can't swear that the focus *isn't* on the password field (I suspect it is), it's just that the text cursor doesn't appear there so you have no indication that the field actually has the focus, and you don't get the expected obscuring bullets as you type the password characters.

Actually, I'll postpone comment on this because cauldron is currently updating at a crawl, so I can't swear to what happens under "current" cauldron.

Under today's cauldron, this has been fixed.
