[Bug 872701] Re: Not possible to enter correct password after screen lock

 

** Summary changed:

- Cannot enter correct password after suspend
+ Not possible to enter correct password after screen lock

** Description changed:

  STR:
-  1) Suspend the computer
-  2) Resume so that screen lock dialog waits for password
-  3) Set correct keyboard layout and enter password
-  4) Returned to desktop
+  1) Lock the screen
+  2) Move mouse to force password dialog to appear
+  3) Set correct keyboard layout and enter password
+  4) Returned to desktop
  
  AR:
-  At step 3, no matter which keyboard layout I set (I have US and US-dvorak and toggle with double-shift) the password which I enter is never accepted. I am forced to switch to a tty, login there (with the same password) and kill X - or is there an easier workaround where I can unlock the screensaver with a command?

  Note: I use multiple layouts on another oneiric laptop and do not see
  this issue.
