            Bug ID: 440677
           Summary: Lockscreen password promt doesn't switch layouts after
                    changing TTY
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If I lock the screen and switch to a different TTY and back, the password
prompt will not accept keyboard shortcuts for changing the keyboard layout
(language), potentially leaving users locked out if they don't have a mouse
with which to change the layout to one with which the password could be typed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure more than 1 keyboard layout, with the switching shortcut set to
Alt + Shift.
2. Lock the screen (Ctrl + L).
3. Switch to a different TTY (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F6).
4. Switch back to the TTY where KDE was running and which currently has a
locked screen.
5. Try changing the keyboard layout in the password prompt.
