Description of problem: Today I got confused by not being able to unlock the gnome screensaver until I realised that I had Japanese (anthy) input turned on and gnome-shell screensaver seems to allow ibus input method input into the password box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.6.2-3.fc18 gnome-shell-3.6.2-6.fc18 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable ibus input method, eg "Japanese (anthy)" and select it as Input Source 2. lock gnome 3. try to enter passwd Actual results: Password box accepts ibus input with Japanese characters Expected results: Password box to ignore input method and just give direct keyboard input (like gnome-control-center does for changing password).
It seems fixed in f19. An indicator for a Japanese input method (あ) maybe still be shown in the panel but the Japanese input method is apparently disabled in the password entry field of the lock screen and one can enter a non-Japanese password correctly.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. 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 prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
It is OK in f19 and f20.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
