[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
Note that this bug appears to be at loggerheads with Bug #55277. The desired behavior in this bug is the bug in the other one.

I would disagree, bug #55277 is about the password dialog not appearing *at all*.

On a related note, the focus is also lost when you get "Denied". So if you mistype your password and start typing it in again, typically the start of the password will be lost because the screensaver is doing random "denied" gyrations (bug #44263) instead of paying attention to the keyboard ... and you will be denied again! This is frustrating. Coincidentally, bug #37913 is vaguely at odds with this one; the reporter apparently finds it mildly confusing that the first, focus- grabbing keypress is entered into the password entry field too. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
I switched back to xscreensaver because of this bug. Unlocking is always an exercise in frustration. I used to be able to bang my password in and not worry about things; it just worked. Now I have to hit a key... wait... type in the password; or, I bang it in, wait... I get the wiggle dance (cute, but stupid... Max OS X does this, yes, but it doesn't have all of the other DENIED cruft and so on. Pick one or the other, using both takes too much time. But I digress...)... wait... type it in again.

[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
This particular bug infuriates me. I am used to the x-screensaver behavior. No matter how long it takes xscreensaver to come up with the unlock dialog, it catches every single keystroke, including any mistakes and backspaces, and continuations upto and including the enter key. What is bad about xscreensaver, jwz does and has done an outstanding job for many years with this project. What was so NEEDFUL as to make it more "admin" friendly and so repulsive to end users? Sure it does the same job of xscreensaver only more crapily and slows me down significantly. I understand about the dbus and gconf ideas... but at what cost is going to be? If Gnome is going to change the this gnome-screensaver, Gnome needs to have it accept all keystrokes from the keyboard on the get go, not "delayed" until the dialog comes up. This mode of operation is extremely horrid and NOT at all End-User friendly. We need to get work done, this holds us up as much as 90 seconds (on a slow machine that is heavily used) This can eat up 15+ minutes a day, even without the mistakes, if your timeout is short. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
On a related note, the focus is also lost when you get "Denied". So if you mistype your password and start typing it in again, typically the start of the password will be lost because the screensaver is doing random "denied" gyrations (bug #44263) instead of paying attention to the keyboard ... and you will be denied again! This is frustrating. Coincidentally, bug #37913 is vaguely at odds with this one; the reporter apparently finds it mildly confusing that the first, focus- grabbing keypress is entered into the password entry field too. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
I switched back to xscreensaver because of this bug. Unlocking is always an exercise in frustration. I used to be able to bang my password in and not worry about things; it just worked. Now I have to hit a key... wait... type in the password; or, I bang it in, wait... I get the wiggle dance (cute, but stupid... Max OS X does this, yes, but it doesn't have all of the other DENIED cruft and so on. Pick one or the other, using both takes too much time. But I digress...)... wait... type it in again. This is not a Good User Experience (tm). -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
This particular bug infuriates me. I am used to the x-screensaver behavior. No matter how long it takes xscreensaver to come up with the unlock dialog, it catches every single keystroke, including any mistakes and backspaces, and continuations upto and including the enter key. What is bad about xscreensaver, jwz does and has done an outstanding job for many years with this project. What was so NEEDFUL as to make it more "admin" friendly and so repulsive to end users? Sure it does the same job of xscreensaver only more crapily and slows me down significantly. I understand about the dbus and gconf ideas... but at what cost is going to be? If Gnome is going to change the this gnome-screensaver, Gnome needs to have it accept all keystrokes from the keyboard on the get go, not "delayed" until the dialog comes up. This mode of operation is extremely horrid and NOT at all End-User friendly. We need to get work done, this holds us up as much as 90 seconds (on a slow machine that is heavily used) This can eat up 15+ minutes a day, even without the mistakes, if your timeout is short. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Note that this bug appears to be at loggerheads with Bug #55277. The desired behavior in this bug is the bug in the other one.

[Bug 56352] Re: Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears
I would disagree, bug #55277 is about the password dialog not appearing *at all*. I am just saying that it's very convenient to be able to just start typing and not care how many milliseconds are required to page the dialog in and display it. -- Unlock dialog no longer pays attention to keypresses before it appears https://launchpad.net/bugs/56352 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
