Pop-up appear on a lock screen

Closed this issue · 2 comments

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1
GNOME: 42.5
Tested with default key-binding for 'switch-input-source' (space)

As title say pop-up is still present on a lock screen. It acts like with issue #5 (doesn't let you switch with "Space" while you're holding "Super" but disappear when you press "Press" for a second time).

How to reproduce:

  1. Trigger lock screen either with "Win+L" shortcut or d-bus command
    dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock
  2. Hold "Super", then press "Space"

I'm surprised this extension works on the lock-screen, extensions are intentionally barred from working on the GDM, though there is some glimpse hope that this situation will change in the future.

Anyhow, i guess lock-screen is a different animal and hadn't really noticed it because the popup appears only if you login first and then press [Win+L] to explicitly lock the screen; not after boot, and (i think) not when it locks after a session timeout, correct?
But this is expected, UNLESS the problem is actually caused by #5, is it?

Don't have time to fix this, leaving open for volunteers based on the 2nd link above.

With v8 this should now be fixed: although the extension cannot run in the lock screen under Wayland, the original popup must now work correctly.

Please re-open if the problem persists.
