GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 783695
Not clear how to get the display sleeping again

See the first part of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742981#c7 I think it would be fair for the shell to automatically cancel the password/fingerprint/etc. input after a period of time, so that it's not stuck on the lock screen when somebody pressing a few keys on the keyboard by mistake.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
