How many laptops really have that? My ancient Lenovo X60 tablet has that feature, but my much newer HP Envy 14 doesn't.
Even then, how often do people really turn on num lock? I'm concerned this warning is only for a tiny fraction of users--laptop users whose laptops still have that feature _and_ who actually use num lock. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877456 Title: Who cares about num lock? Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The gnome screensaver is the only application I have ever used, ever, that thinks that num lock being on is something I should be warned about when entering a password. This seems pointless as people generally do not change num lock during computer use, or if they do, it's not to the frequency of using caps lock. Further, numlock being off, which appears to be the preferred state because that removes the warning, is an old-school habit, increasingly unusual. Please remove this warning. It is warning against the normative state, and it doesn't provide useful information. It's just screen clutter.
