Description:

As reported[1] by Nek80 on Github:

> When booted up SDDM comes up with the last used username selected and the password field apparently "focused" but in reality it is not, as when I try to type it does nothing. Also the keyboard keys (e.g. TAB) don't do anything at all at that moment until I use the mouse to click on the password field which then I can type in the password and also use TAB to move around the fields.

I'm experiencing the same issue with current sddm from [extra].

Because the bug was reported upstream[1], a fix was committed[2], and because logging in quickly and conveniently (including using only the keyboard) is an important feature [3] of a login manager, please consider adding this fix as a patch to the package until the next release of sddm.
