Password field doesn't get focus when multiple monitors

Help

After a reset, the password field doesn’t get focus, so I have to use the mouse tolog in. Not the biggest problem, though. My neofetch:

If I disconnect the external monitor(s) the field get focus, as expected.

Login screen or lock screen? Have you logged in yet?

Yes, after restart of the machine/ session. . I know this isn’t a BIG problem. I just use mouse to move focus to the password field. But… :sweat_smile:

Sounds like 390503 – Logout screen item focus not synced with multiple screens.

If 431382 – Display logout screen only on primary display, not all displays were implemented, the bug would be moot.

I can’t recall as it’s not something I remember but just muscle memory I have never had to click to focus the input in the lock-screen or SDDM when typing my password.

<you say you never have to click to change focus. Have you multiple monitors? I have 2 external monitors, with one of them as primary. The internal laptop monitor i disabled bco I mostly close the lid…
