Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2007-04-06 13:35:24 UTC
Please describe the problem:
the first letter of the password is never registered on the first try when coming back from suspend (or other power saving modes?)

Steps to reproduce:
1. suspend to ram
2. wake; the password screen shows up
3. type the first letter of your password; it will not be registered
4. continue typing your password thinking everything is normal

Actual results:
the prompt tells you it failed

Expected results:
grab the first key, don't discard it

Does this happen every time?
Yes. Yes. Yes. It has taken me so long to figure out I had to consult a psychiatrist about my "I feel the urge to enter my password, erase it, and enter it again" problems.

Other information:
I will attach a short ogg theora video demonstrating the problem.
Oh, and I'm filing this bug report on GPM instead of gnome screensaver, because this never happens if I simply lock the screen. It only happens if I come back from suspend.

Cheers for the video! Re-assigning to gnome-screensaver as I think it's more suited there.

What is the version of gnome-screensaver that you have installed?

BTW, you should probably change your password since it is visible in the video ;)
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2007-04-06 18:26:39 UTC
I am using gnome-screensaver 2.18.0-0 ubuntu2. Is this supposed to be fixed in newer versions already?

P.s.: yeah, a password specifically for this video! :)

demonstration with GDM

actually I don't think the bug is related to gnome screensaver at all.

I just tried a suspend and resume from the gdm login screen and I had the same problem: the first key was discarded (this was now a lot more obvious since it was in clear text for the username)

In the demo, I type "hello world" on resume

I'm not sure there is much we can do from within GNOME.  Could be an X, kernel, drivers, etc bug.  Might be best to file a bug with your distro.  Sorry we can't do more to help.
