Resuming after suspend the screen is locked (ok) but I can't input the password

When I suspend my laptotp the screen is locked, that’s ok.

When I want to resume my laptop I have to press the space bar. If I accidentally press any other key or I move the mouse or I press the mouse buttons the system resume, but the password window is unuseful, I can’t type in the password field, I can’t use any other button in the window.

I have to wait that the timer ends and press the “change user” button.

Is there a solution for this?

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart cp /etc/xdg/autostart/mate-screensaver.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ sed -i 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=/' ~/.config/autostart/mate-screensaver.desktop

You can also look at other lockers like i3lock or xsecurelock.

You can look at this thread for some reference. It may cause a delay coming out of suspend.
