Title:
using shift key to wake up display causes invalid password
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Summary: hitting 'shift' before typing your password can get "stuck" down and
cause you to not be able to log in.
I have a habit of using the shift key wake the display of my system
after i've been away from it for a while, and then typing my password.
I started having trouble logging in, as if my fingers weren't typing the
right password. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but i
thought maybe that I'd inadvertantly hit 'caps-lock' and that was causing
the issue. So I hit it again, and then logged in successfully.
However, upon login I found that caps-lock was enabled.
So to reproduce:
a.) let the screen lock or lock it manually.
b.) hit shift key (i hit left shift)
c.) type password correctly: watch fail to login
d.) note that you can hit caps-lock and then successfully login
e.) note that after login, caps lock is set, that you didn't make this all
up.
