I find it depends on the SDDM theme used.  After the upgrade, on both systems, 
SDDM used Maui by default, with which I had two problems: the password field never 
started out focused, and it would always display that I had selected an English locale... 
except the instant I press a key, it would switch to German -- apparently a UI issue :-/ .  
I subsequently switched to the Breeze theme and haven't had any serious issues 
since -- SDDM doesn't show my user's avatar, while the screen locker does, but that's 
it, I think).
