I have upgraded to 6.4.3, and this doesn't seem to work for my use case: I use
fcitx5 as input method, it has a feature to show a small IME popup whenever
(text input) focus changes. E.g. when I click the browser URL bar, a small
popup showing my current IME will show up.

So whenever I lock screen, this IME popup will show up, probably because the
password field always take focus after entering lockscreen, and this IME popup
will in turn bring up the whole password prompt. As a result, in 6.4.3,
password prompt still shows up immediately after locking screen. Disabling the
fcitx5 focus change popup feature makes it normal.

By the way I am not sure whether this is a kscreenlocker issue or fcitx5 issue
