Description Moez Roy 2014-03-03 12:46:42 UTC
screen keyboard does not work for password pop up dialog. for example when you want to install something you cannot type the password using the screen keyboard.

> give some example application which failed to use caribou.

Using Gnome-Shell: 
From yumex try to install (any) software. It will ask for admin password. Try entering the admin password using the on screen keyboad. It won't let you.

any chance of backporting this fix?

thanks in advance

Comment 6 Parag Nemade 2014-05-10 09:27:31 UTC
This is fixed in gnome package, gnome-shell and I see there are no plans for backporting gnome-3.12 to F20. So you need to wait for F21...

Well I am hoping this patch can be applied to gnome-shell 3.10.x so this fix can come to F20.

scratch build with the patches backported is running:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6884102

can you grab that when it's done and let me know if it works? Thanks!
