Bug Description

If the screen is locked while in app/window spread, the Enter key will not work in the lockscreen. The password field has focus though, entering the password works just fine. The Enter key will work again after opening and closing one of the indicators and then clicking the password field.

Steps to reproduce:
* Enter app or window spread mode
* Lock the screen using the keyboard shortcut
* Enter your password and press Enter
* Click one of the indicators twice to open and close it
* Click on the password field and press Enter again

This has the potential to be a real problem for normal users, as they won't know what caused the problem and probably would give up and reboot, losing their unsaved session.
