Bug description
When a box opens asking for password authentication the screen freezes and I can't use the on screen keyboard to input password.
A connected physical keyboard works.
Steps to reproduce
Do anything to open the dialog box like mounting a drive in nemo, then try to bring up or use on screen keyboard.
Expected behavior
I think you should be able to use on screen keyboard to put in password.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Reproduce on Arch Linux by opening a password dialog, such as when mounting a drive in Nemo, then bring up and use the on-screen keyboard. Done means the dialog no longer freezes and accepts the password from the on-screen keyboard while a physical keyboard continues to work.
