Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-16 14:53:14 UTC 
(From Adam Jackson, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=252991)

Bring up a fresh gdm.  Cursor focus will be on the text entry field.  Hit
Shift-Tab, focus rotates back to the user list.  If you start typing, an
autocompletion widget pops down out of nowhere.  Worse, it doesn't actually
autocomplete: typing my own name and hitting enter, doesn't select that user.

I think something like this should work (building into rawhide now, so we'll see I guess)

The face browser is also in gdmlogin.c.  Could you please disable it in both
places and let me know that the patch works?  If so, I'll commit.
Comment 3 Brian Cameron 2007-08-16 18:26:23 UTC 
Oops, sorry about that.  I now see the patch has changes for both gdmlogin.c and the greeter code.  The patch looks reasonable and is now upstream.  Marking as fixed.
