You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ubuntu 10.10 (but I recall that this bug existed in 10.04 and possibly earlier).
Once you reach the login page, and if you have a single user, the cursor is located centrally, above the area you need to click in order to open the password entry box. If you do not move the mouse at all, but just click, the password entry box does not appear. The password entry box only appears if you first move the mouse (even a single pixel is sufficient), and then click on the box. Admittedly this is only a minor annoyance, but why should the user be forced to move the mouse (even if it is only a single pixel), in order to interact with a button that the cursor is already over? ((Is this in any way related to Bug #14669?)) ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: click login mouse -- At the login screen, you can not click without having moved the cursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/697760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
