Title:
unity greeter loses focus. keyboard input can end up in program behind
greeter
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Sometimes when trying to login on the unity-greeter the keyboard input
does not end up in the password field.
My workaround has been to activate sleep, and then turn the computer
back on; then the keyboard input ends up in the greeter.
The reason why this is a security issue:
After the workaround and logging in keyboard input is present in the program
I have running e.g. intellij.
In ther words, my password is there in cleartext on screen.
Had that been a chat client I would have sent my password to the other
party.
