Bug Description

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of information.

This is what I installed 4 days agao. Ubuntu 22.04
telegram-desktop/jammy 3.6.1+ds-2build1 amd64
  fast and secure messaging application

It happened twice that from my lock screen, the password input field would not pop up when moving the mouse or clicking on the keyboard. Without thinking I began typing on the keyboard. Finally, the computer displayed the login screen and I was able to input my password.

When the desktop unlocked, there was the keyboard input I had done in the lockscreen there in telegram-desktop.

I have only seen this behavior with telegram-desktop

This is a pretty serious problem. I had to go into damage control mode and change the password and uninstall the telegram-dektop app.

Happy to supply further information. For now, the telegram-desktop app is gone from my PC.
