Lockscreen bypass #18

Open jes opened 1 year ago

This is probably not the correct repo, but I don't know exactly which repo is the best one to put this issue on.

If you press the context menu key while at the lockscreen, then the password field can no longer be focused and input events go to the window behind the lockscreen.

I checked the same thing on multiple Regolith installations and the bug exists on all of them. I checked on Pop!_Os and it does not exist there, so I think it's something to do with Regolith rather than a general gnome-flashback bug.

Hi @jes thanks for the report. There are a number of issues with X11 lockscreens, and I'm not aware of fixes to them. The Regolith wayland session will be released as an alpha in the upcoming Regolith 3.0. I believe these kinds of issues can be resolved there.
