Questions about CM13's occasionally-working fingerprint scanner

Update: the problem was solved after I've disabled the lock screen widget.

Hi everyone! I’ve recently flashed the CM13 for mi5s which runs very well. However, I can’t always use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. At the bottom of the lock screen it always (95%) shows the “key lock icon” so I can only unlock with PIN. But ironically, the “fingerprint icon” sometimes (5%) appears in the lock screen, allowing me to unlock with the fingerprint scanner. Does anyone have the same experience? How can it be fixed?

Thanks!

How did you set it up? I added it during initial phone set up.
At first I set it up during initial phone set up too (with two fingerprints), but then the problem arose, so I deleted the fingerprints and set it up again, but the problem is still there. Do u have the same problem? and how many fingerprints did you input?

No problem here, just using 1 fingerprint
