Description Matthew Miller 2012-10-21 02:04:52 UTC
Description of problem:

When I unlock the screen by moving the mouse, I am presented with a very pretty screen urging me to drag upwards. Only after doing that (or hitting esc) can I proceed to enter my password.

I understand the appeal visually and the benefit on a touch interface, but on a traditional desktop or laptop this is just introducing an extra hoop.

Please either redesign this feature for daily usability or provide an option in the "Brightness and Lock" settings screen to disable the swipe lock.

Thank you.

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

gnome-screensaver-3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.6.1-2.fc18.x86_64

We are not using gnome-screensaver anymore, moving this to gnome-shell.
But it is really more a design question than a bug.

Sure. We can call it a "design issue". I don't think it's really a _question_.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 08:48:02 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-03-20 22:42:59 UTC
This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/.

This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!
