    Hello, I'm creating a simple Qt app for the first time, a lock screen that prompts me for a password. But for some reason it won't let me type anything in.

    I have a QLineEdit widget for entering the password, but when I try to type anything in it gets sent to the terminal, not the app, which is focused, full-screened and not decorated by the window manager.

    There is a temporary button at the bottom of the screen so that I can hide the lock screen without typing in my password because I can't, and pressing that button works fine.

    Does anyone know what might be going on here?

    Update:

    Clicking on the text box also doesn't show any indication of focus.

      OK, I found out that the issue has something to do with me using setWindowFlags(Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint).

      Does anyone have ideas as to what else to use? (Ideally I don't want an 'X' button on my lock screen, or be able to press Alt+F4 to close it)
