I just tried : - on a laptop where Ubuntu has been updated from 17.04 to 17.10 yesterday (27th March)
- on the current 18.04 pre-release version on my home computer (updates made until 27th March) Both were installed with French language and "French alternative" keyboard configuration. On both I can well type Euro symbol € and it is well written in the gdm login field. Same for # $ @ ù é. Only letters with an accent needing a double click are not written correctly since 10th March updates on 18.04 (but work on 17.10) : û and ü give u ô and ö give o (see bug 1758563) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Title: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: In latest Artful (2017-09-08 daily), gdm does not allow to enter the euro character (€) when typing the password (be it with the real keyboard or with the visual on screen keyboard).
