Description of problem: In Fedora 36 KDE, SDDM has been changed to use a Wayland greeter by default. I noticed some minor cosmetic issues - the background blur looks low quality, the cursor is larger than it should be, and the keyboard layout always defaults to "af" rather than the one I set at installation (Australian English / "au") More importantly, if you click the desktop session button to change between Plasma's Wayland or X11 session, or the keyboard layout option, the menu spawns in the top-left corner of the screen instead of above the button, and the background rapidly flashes white (like a strobe effect). None of these issues occur if you edit /etc/sddm.conf to change back to the X11 greeter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.19.0^git20220224.5ad9f19-2.fc36 How reproducible: Every time, both on real hardware (AMD GPU) and on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on any the keyboard layout or desktop session buttons in SDDM on Fedora 36 Actual results: The menu opens in the top-left corner of the screen and the background rapidly flashes white (strobe effect) Expected results: Menu opens above the button like it does in Fedora 35, and no strobe effect.

Proposed as a Blocker for 36-beta by Fedora user ngompa using the blocker tracking app because: This is serious visual corruption that inhibits the basic functionality (selecting sessions for the login).

Discussed during the 2022-03-07 blocker review meeting: [0] The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker (Beta)", "AcceptedBlocker (Final)", and an "AcceptedFreezeException (Beta)" was made as it doesn't quite seem to violate the Beta criteria, but is bad enough to be worth fixing. 'Default keyboard layout is wrong' portion violates Final criterion: "If a particular keyboard layout has been configured for the system, that keyboard layout must be used: ... When logging in via the default login manager for a release-blocking desktop". [0] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2022-03-07/f36-blocker-review.2022-03-07-17.01.txt
Adding whiteboard fields so it shows correctly in the Blockerbugs app.
FEDORA-2022-cda6070d01 has been pushed to the Fedora 36 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.
Parts of the issue (blinking) were fixed but other remain. 1) Language selection still does not actually change the keyboard layout. 2) After getting the cursor on the password text box, the options below it (like Change user) disappear and it is hard to make them appear again.
True, part of the problem of reporting multiple issues in a single bug report. That said, I know at least item 1 is being tracked elsewhere already as a blocker bug
hello, I updated fedora 35 (kde) to fedora 36 (kde) with the "dnf system-update" method.
