* The lock screen pops up, requests a password, and disappears after you enter it, but you find that your password and enter key also made their way into the foreground text field.

I love linux, but it's not wart-free.

Did that really happen to you or are you confusing it with this issue on MacOS?

It really happened, just last week. Although I use MacOS regularly, this was the first time I had ever seen it happen, and it startled me.
