Hello
I've noticed that slock won't lock the screen if unclutter grabbed to mouse
pointer. To be precise, the screen blacks for a short moment, and then returns
to the desktop without password verification.
This happens when
$ unclutter -grab
was called more than 5 seconds before, or immediately when choosing
non-default idle time
$ unclutter -idle 0 -grab
I've tested with slock 1.1 and 1.2. Upon researching this issue I found that
it was already noticed by others. Arch wiki [1] blames unclutter for this and
notes that is also breaks i3lock, which isn't confirmed in [2].
I'm not sure if you are fine with the current behaviour (by
indeed blaming unclutter), or unaware of this issue.
Regards,
Andreas
