Bug description
When I come back to my computer and log back in from the lockscreen, AND when I have a package update available, it prompts me to enter my password to "update information about software".
The only issue is that, while I can enter the password, I can't press enter using the button on the dialog or using my Enter key on my keyboard.
I can't do anything else either. I can switch applications with the mouse by pressing on them on the panel, but I can't interact with the applications. I'm basically locked in some sort of goofy kiosk mode.
The only way to fix it, is simply by loggin out and back in. Which means that I loose everything I was working on...
Steps to reproduce
Lock screen, wait until there's updates available and log back in.
Expected behavior
To be able to enter my password and to press enter to continue.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the report. Reproduce the issue on Mint 22.1 with Cinnamon 6.4.8 by locking the screen, waiting for package updates, and logging back in; done means the authentication dialog accepts the password and Enter action without forcing logout or losing the session.
