I start my computer ;
The loading screen appears ;
The login screen appears (but logging in will not work) ;
The screen turns black with underscore ;
The login screen reappears (logging in will finally work) ;
I'm logged in.

It has been like that for a while, I expected this bug to be found & fixed eventually, but after running an update today, it still hasn't, which is why I'm now posting here.

So, when the login screen first appears :

either I have time to type my password & press enter, but afterwards the login screen still disappears then reappears as if I never tried to log in ;
or I'm still typing the password while it disappears then it reappears as if I never started typing ;
or I wait for it to disappear & reappear, and only then I can finally log in.

What to do ?

Thank you

I don't see any contradiction here. As long as you're using the user edition, you're still using a tested distro.

Plus, except for Ubuntu, no Debian-based distro ships Plasma 6 (Tuxedo doesn't count because Neon-based).

Well, distros that say "is stable" and don't say "there might be some teething problems" still have problems, so this is average. Just because I was warned doesn't mean I can't talk about an issue...

Yes, but you should bring this up on the KDE forums and/or the place where you submit bug reports, because this is related to a relatively unstable OS with new features that are still not “perfect”, so improvement is needed, and the problem you have might help them.
