Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When I begin typing at the GDM greeter, GTK does its usual thing for
searching within lists: it highlights the item starting with the letters
the user has typed. (For example, a user named John will be highlighted
if the user types j).
However, a user who immediately begins typing at the greeter probably
intends to type a username directly (perhaps even for accessibility
reasons). It would be more useful for this case if the username field
(same as when the user clicks “Other…” from the list) appears, filled
with the characters that have been entered so far. (Probably using the
start-interactive-search signal). In this way, we stay consistent with
other login screens that have username fields by default, where the user
may be used to immediately typing.
