Title:
Cancelling an ongoing verification via Escape key doesn't work
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Focal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
When an identification is in progress, we can't cancel the user
verification via Escape key
[ Test case ]
- Start authenticating an user (using a wrong password may make this easier
to trigger)
- Hit Escape
- Authentication is cancelled and user can put PIN / password again
[ Regression potential ]
Authentication fails even if it should not, user authentication may
lead to user to see the user lists under gdm when not expected.
