On GDM try to login with an user 2. Type the *wrong* user password multiple times 3. After some retries the password field should not accept input anymore The error message should be presented to the user 4. After some moments (enough to read the text) the user selection page should be presented again [ Regression potential ] We had some dead code due to the wrong variable being referenced, so now sending messages to a PAM module may be slower if a message is being shown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2084289/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
