Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-05-23 13:14:21 UTC 
It seems like the width (or wrapping) of the shell containing the login choices changes after a failed password attempt. I notice this because initially my name is not ellipsized, and after entering the wrong password and being sent back to the user selection, my name is now truncated.
Comment 1 Stefan Friesel 2012-08-05 12:09:36 UTC 
Tabbing between multiple user entries also causes the box to get wider each time.
Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2012-08-21 03:43:19 UTC 
Ah we fixed this a while back. closing out!
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-09-21 03:48:21 UTC 
Ray, are you absolutely sure about that? I still see this in 3.5.92 (F18 alpha, with updates applied)...
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-21 10:14:40 UTC 
I can't reproduce it with .92
Comment 5 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-09-21 18:39:15 UTC 
Just checking, you tried with my full name?
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-22 16:37:04 UTC 
I've tried now.
You show up as Jean-François F... on my login screen, and your width never changes...

I've seen the wolf. I swear I've seen it! Here's proof.
Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-23 02:53:17 UTC 
Oh, you are right. I've seen that too, now.
Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2012-09-23 02:54:08 UTC 
Moving to gnome-shell
Comment 10 Giovanni Campagna 2012-11-24 18:08:45 UTC 
This was probably caused by a combination of StScrollView not doing complete h4w, StBoxLayout and StLabel being very wrong in h4w (we've seen that before with modal dialogs), and LoginDialog playing dirty tricks to animate.
In a modern shell where the user name is not hidden, the effect is smaller and can be attributed to StScrollView only. Therefore I'm marking this a duplicate of bug 686881, which has patches.
