Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2013-05-18 12:14:08 UTC

When I have changed session type from eg. "KDE Plasma Workspaces" to "Project Neon" and start to type my password, the input isn't auto-redirected to the password field. I can only navigate through the combobox items using arrow keys (but typing P to select Project Neon doesn't work either) and the combobox doesn't look focussed, so I expect my input being redirected to the password field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start lightdm --test-mode
2. Change session type
3. Start typing
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
Input is redirected to password field like it would when you haven't switched session type

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

We no longer use lightDM, having moved to SDDM several years ago. As such, this bug report is no longer applicable. Bugs reports for the new SDDM-based login screen should be filed to one of two places:

1. Visual/UI bugs with the login screen UI itself, or feature requests: plasmashell | Theme - Breeze
2. Bugs with the login/user switching process: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues
