Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
If the gdm user list (face browser) is enabled, then beginning to type a
username locates the appropriate entry in the user list. If the user
list is disabled, this search box serves no purpose and should be
disabled. Since users are accustomed to typing their username at a
login screen, the fact that this search box appears is confusing,
leading them to believe that they are entering their username which is
not true. If they continue to press enter and begin typing their
password, which is a rather standard and reflexive behavior, then their
password winds up appearing in plain text on the screen. The
combination of this useless search box with the requirement of clicking
a Log In button leads to a very confusing environment for users who
disable the face browser. In an enterprise environment, this is a
serious problem.
