[Bug 974610] Re: can't cancel authentication

 

Let me add "me too" to the list of people noticing this bug.  I was
going to file a report on it, but a search turned up this list.

It appears that hitting "cancel" at any point of the login, even before
entering a username, will make it impossible to log into the system.
"Cancel" does not return you to the Username prompt, and you cannot get
focus back to where you enter passwords.

Related to this may be the case where you mis-type the username.  Again,
there is no way to return to a place where you can enter the username
again.

  can't cancel authentication

Bug description:
  Hi,

  this is lightdm 1.2.0 without accountservice and with user list
  disabled. When typing a wrong username, there's no way to cancel the
  authentication: the cancel button doesn't work and it seems that
  there's no limit on the number of entered passwords.
