Description of problem: However, with Gnome Wayland selected, it takes multiple attempts to have my password accepted for the LOGON SCREEN. Password entry works ok with regular Gnome interface. My password format is #montreal001 tryit with #qwert001 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): uname -a Linux F23SDC 4.2.1-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 21 22:13:13 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux All Gnome updates as of this posting within Fedora 23 beta-rc1 There is no gnome version information when clicking on the help icon. How reproducible: Since I discovered the problem... Switch from Gnome to Gnome Wayland and very carefully, click on user icon when password prompt occurs, very carefully enter the password. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Immediately after a boot, or immediately after changing from Gnome to Gnome-Wayland or immediately after logout (while not leaving Gnome Wayland selection) and retrying with Gnome-Wayland. Actual results: After a logout, password is definitely rejected at first and immediately main prompt reappears. I repeat the selection of my logon and then very carefully enter the password a second time. It can be accepted or rejected. Most of the time second or third attempt is accepted. Expected results: Gnome Wayland presentation of password to be accepted the first time, as it is done with normal non-wayland Gnome Additional info: To be reconfirmed --- I tried it once and it really needs further testing, but a backspace char followed by the #password001 format worked first time with Wayland login process. Does the # as first character have any significance. my passwords have € and ¥ as special characters. Note 2 Two keyboard layouts used... US keyboard layout is #2, Canada French is #1 I never switch to US layout between system boots. (US layout is kept for other non-admin user(s). Again, with regular Gnome, this dual keyboard settings has never caused problems.
Backspace as first character has no effect. I switched to Wayland for Fedora 22, (Actually was using Wayland in F22), and the logon problem is not present. The logon problem is a Wayland Fedora 23 problem.
Tested and not fixed with update to... Linux F23SDC 4.2.2-300.fc23.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Sep 30 01:36:26 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
