Description Phil Jasbutis 2022-11-30 14:50:29 UTC

Description of problem:

When screen-lock activates while a user has the context menu (right-click menu) of home or trash
icon on desktop open, it's impossible to unlock the screen afterwards because password prompt is
not accessible.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-3.32.1-29.el8.noarch
  gnome-tweaks-3.28.1-7.el8.noarch
  gnome-session-3.28.1-14.el8.x86_64
  gnome-shell-3.32.2-48.el8.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:

  Freshly installed RHEL 8.7 with GUI "Workstation":

  1. Set the Screensaver to 1 Minute: Settings -> Power -> Power Saving -> Black Screen -> 1 Minute
  2. Activate the desktop icons extension: Tweaks -> Extensions -> Desktop Icons -> On
  3. Right-click on HOME or Trash Icon on the desktop (context menu pops up)
  4. Let the menu stay open until screen-lock engages
  5. Try to unlock the screen

Actual results:

  - Screen shows the time and date but does not give access to the password prompt.

Expected results:

  - Password prompt should show up to unlock the screen.


Additional info:

  When trying to get to the password prompt, following message appears in /var/log/messages:

  Nov 30 14:27:16 rh8-01 journal[5116]: JS ERROR: TypeError: this._grabStack[i] is undefined#012onCapturedEvent@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/grabHelper.js:313:27#012_onCapturedEvent@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/grabHelper.js:12:12

This took a while to debug, but I have a working patch now.

Comment 3 Michael Boisvert 2022-12-12 19:37:02 UTC

gnome-shell-extensions-3.32.1-30.el8 fixed the issue outlined in the bug report: right clicking on a desktop icon, allowing the screen to blank on its own then trying to log back in works as expected and the password prompt is immediately visible.
