I'm confused about the status of this bug, It doesn't seem like the upstream "Fix Released" status resolved this issue. Lucid Lynx still has the behavior described in the OP, shown in attachment login-screens.png for reference:
* image 1 - single user login screen * image 2 - multiple user login screen * image 3 - user password prompt >From this we see: * Multiple users make it more clear which user is selected by default (image 2), compared to a single user (image 1) * Selecting a user prompts for the password (image 3), note this screen does not have the "Other..." login action. Consider that if we do show the "Enter Password" screen automatically (image 3), in the case where there is only one user, then the "Other..." login action won't be visible at first sight. The user will need to press "Cancel" to get back to choose the "Other..." option, which just introduces a level of ambiguity, more so than the current issue. Hovering the mouse over a user shows a tool tip "Log in as wesley" (not captured in the screen shots). I think extending these tips to a text label below the login area, will make your selection more clear. ** Attachment added: "login-screens.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52212756/login-screens.png -- Log in screen is confusing, not clear what to do https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
