You have been subscribed to a public bug: This problems comes from using a dual keyboard layout. I face the problem using Ubuntu, but other distros most have the same problem.
When I first log in the computer, I use a default input language to type my password (english). Then I use my session switching between french and english keyboard layout. Then I lock my session and when I come back, the keyboard input language is set to the session language. I think from a user perspective, locking a session is about the same as logging out except he keeps his windows opened. So the input language should be set to a default language then whether the user first log in or he locked the screen he input the password using the same key sequence and not having to check the current language. ** Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Input language should be set to default when screen gets locked. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1271621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
