When a user is expected to provide keyboard input, it is not typical that only one case will be acceptable. This bug exposes an inconsistency to the user interface that results in poor usability.
I am not advocating case insensitivity or otherwise. I'll leave those technical details to the developers to work out. Furthermore, the better solution is probably not to require the user to provide input at all. The user's name can be gleaned from /etc/passwd in the same way that the standard GNOME games do so. However, as long as frozen-bubble does require the player's name to be entered manually, I feel that uppercase letters should be an acceptable form of input. -- uppercase letters are not recognized as a valid form of input https://launchpad.net/bugs/1580 -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
