[Bug 1374778] [NEW] Can't click at every item with greeter-show-manual-login

 

Public bug reported:

When using greeter-show-manual-login=true some entries of the loginscreen are not clickable.
A concrete example: the loginscreen items are:
- User 1
- User 2
- Login (arbitrary Username can be typed) 
- Guest Session

When "User 2" is the active item I can click at every other item. When I click at "Guest Session", "Guest Session" will be the active item. Now a click at "Login" is without any effect ("User 1" and "User 2" are still clickable).
With other computers and different users sometimes more then one item isn't clickable. Sometimes no other item can be selected with the mouse, I have to use the keyboard!

I can reproduce this problem with 4 different desktop computers and 2
different notebooks. I noticed this problem with Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10,
13.04, 13.10 and 14.04. Same problem with and without LDAP-connection.
