Description xiaochun lee 2019-11-21 09:34:08 UTC
Description of problem:
The symptom is when typing a user name for login OS, we can't see the letters, it was be masked like the password.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.28.3-18.el7.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
It can be reproduced every time when run 'init 3' to 'init 5'

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the RHEL7.8 beta OS
2.Login OS via GUI
3.typing in a user name

Actual results:
While typing the user name, the letters is masked like the password letters.

Expected results:
While typing the user name, the letters can be show to us.

Additional info:
RHEL7.7 isn't the problem, I narrowed down to one package that named gnome-shell yesterday, it upgrade from gnome-shell-3.28.3-11.el7.x86_64.rpm in 
RHEL7.7 to gnome-shell-3.28.3-18.el7.x86_64.rpm in RHEL7.8 beta.
But after click cancel button or tap the keyboard 'Esc' key, and then back to type the user name again, we can see the letters of the user name.
