A post was merged into an existing topic: Fedora 41 KDE Discover asking for password constantly

In my opinion this should be considered as blocker for next Fedora release (and should have been considered for the current one). At least if Fedora really cares about disabled people who rely on features like these. It’s unacceptable to have broken OS after upgrade just because of a11y features and it’s unacceptable to force people to disable a11y features to have working system.

I don’t see this issue defined as blocker. Maybe am I looking at wrong place? Fedora 42 Final Blocker Bugs

Maybe Fedora could temporarily grab downstream patch from Ubuntu to workaround problem? Comment #8 : Bug #2081728 : Bugs : mutter package : Ubuntu

Also, there is a report that other a11y related feature also causes this: Crash when starting Wayland session with mouse keys enabled (#3708) · Issues · GNOME / mutter · GitLab

If there is a Fedora bug for this issue, you can nominate it as a blocker: Prioritized Bugs :: Fedora Docs
