Odd behavior after xscreensaver unlock in 24.04.1 latest

I noticed this over the last few days.

I run xscreensaver as my regular screensaver and it usually activates
overnight if I don't start it explicitly.

It used to be that when I unlocked it, everything was back to normal.

Over the last week or so, I've noticed that it unlocks fine, but then
the keyboard does not respond at all until I change desktop screens
with the mouse (I run with 8 desktop screens all the time). Once I
click another desktop, everything goes back to normal.

This includes my keystroke shortcuts to switch desktops, enter a line
on any open terminal, any keyboard activity at all. None of it works
until I click something with the mouse.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?
