Description Dave Malcolm 2004-10-15 22:40:48 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002
Firefox/0.10.1

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Login as a user with at least one lower-case character in your password
1. Go to top panel
2. Select Actions->Lock Screen
3. Ensure you have Caps Lock on
4. Try typing your password

    

Actual Results:  Password entry fails, no apparent reason why; it
merely says "Sorry!"; a non-expert computer user will have to get help
from a techie before they can get back into their computer.

Expected Results:  There should either be some kind of visual cue to
warn you that you have Caps Lock on, or there should be a better error
message, with a suggestion to check the Caps Lock status

Fixed in 4.21: if there is a password failure, and caps-lock is on,
instead of printing "Sorry!" it prints "CapsLock?"

Great, thanks.  Closing...
