Hi, I made some more testings.
First, I just updated my laptop to Ubuntu 17.10 : I confirm that writing
"û" with circumflex accent still worked on artful and that password is
accepted. It's like on my computer home : from Artful until 18.04 alpha,
it worked in gdm with a "û" character. Since 10th March updates, no
more.
On Ubuntu 17.10, on the contrary to bug 1716159, I still can type the
Euro symbol € in the login field and it is well written... I will check
later for current 18.04.
To resume :
gdm :
Debian Stretch 3.22.3 Type "u with circumflex
accent" = û
Ubuntu 17.10 updated 03-27-2018 3.26.1 Type "u with circumflex
accent" = û
Ubuntu 18.04 > 10th March 2018 3.27.92 Type "u with circumflex
accent" = u
I made an upstream bug report to gdm in Gnome to see if there has been on their
side a modification in code which made this circumflex accent no more writable
and then password refused :
