Description Adam Williamson 2011-10-06 00:31:16 UTC 
Running gnome-shell-3.2.0-2.fc16.x86_64 on F16, rest of F16 is up to date with updates-testing.

When logging in, if you enter a wrong password, Shell pops up a Shell-style 'important notification' bar in the bottom center titled 'authenticated failed' (or something similar). If you click on it, it should presumably pop out and explain further. Instead, if you click on it, it disappears, and from then on, the rest of the login interface doesn't respond to mouse input at all. It does respond to keyboard input, though - you can use the arrow keys to pick a user, hit enter, type the password, hit enter again, and log in successfully.
