Strange sleep lockscreen behavior, can't login without smashing ESC a bunch of times first
Bazzite 41 Nvidia edition with KDE
When my PC goes into sleep for an extended period the lock screen responds, but won't let me log in. Only by chance I found out by mashing the ESC key a bunch I'll eventually get onto a lockscreen that will allow me to login and continue as normal.
Just now after mashing a bunch I entered my password, got in and was presented with a second lockscreen, entered my password, got in and was on desktop. So it's kinda like while my PC is sleeping it's in the process of creating more and more lockscreens indefinitely or something.
Does not happen when manually locked I don't think
Previously had an issue where if I have my single monitor focused on a different input I get weirdness like misplaced notifications after switching back and slideshow-like lag on startup, I do work on my laptop using the monitor while my PC is idling so there's that

I'm running into this as well on 41.20241112.1 stable, KDE / AMD. I often leave my PC on overnight to run compute tasks (sleep is disabled), and two nights in a row now I've come back to the lock screen being fully responsive, but nothing happens when I press enter after keying in my password. No error message, no "wrong password" (it's right), nothing. The on-screen button to submit the password also does nothing.
OP's workaround of mashing the Escape key a bunch didn't change anything, but I hit "Switch User" and was then able to log back in as myself without losing any open programs. Not ideal but not the end of the world. I left compute tasks closed last night to see if they had anything to do with the issue (I have earlyoom layered), but it seems not. Locking for a few minutes is also fine, it only seems to be long durations of at least 5-6 hours.
I'm certain this issue did not occur in version 41.20241030. I started seeing it after updating from that to 41.20241112.1
