When I type a wrong username, I can't click "cancel" (well, maybe I could, but without a cursor, its very hard to hit the button to actually try). But worse, even using the keyboard, one can't cancel and retry with another username -- I tried hitting "tab" to focus the cancel button, and activate it using "return", but it didn't have any effect. I'm not sure if "tab" actually changed the focus, but I could try again (please tell me if you would wish for me to do so). Should this issue (cancel not working) be filed as a separate issue, or do you think it might be a side-effect of this bug, and prefer deal with in context of this bug? > The keyboard cursor works > Yes, entering text into the login box works, keyboard cursor and all, except if you make a mistake at the username and hit enter, then you are f*cked as described above -- AFAICS, once you are in this state (having entered a non-existing username), the only way to rectify the situation is restarting lightdm or rebooting.
