 * Cinnamon-Screensaver version - 5.4.4
 * Cinnamon version - 5.4.12
 * Distribution - Mint 21
 * Graphics hardware: AMD 5700 with Mesa 22.1.5

Issue
In Mint 21 the password can not be entered if the display isn't powered on.

Steps to reproduce

  • Lock the screen
  • Turn off your display
  • Enter some text/password
  • Turn on your display
  • See the password field is empty

Expected behaviour
Like in Mint 20 it should be possible to enter a password without turning the display on/waiting for it to be fully on (for me it usually takes some seconds)

This issue may got introduced in 893dbe4 .

I think that self.password_entry.set_text("") is now always called when turning on the display resulting in a cleared password field.

Easier steps to reproduce

  • Lock the screen
  • Enter some text/password
  • Turn off your display
  • Turn on your display
  • See the password field is now reset/empty
