Bug Description
[ Impact ]
Login could be delayed while a loging with a wrong password could be retried.
See the screencast https:/
See upstream issue https:/
1. Try to login up to `allowed-failures` defined with a positive value and
using wrong password
2. Continue writing a password as soon as the interface is sensitive again
3. The interface will go back to user selection
4. Select your user and gdm will try to start the authentication
[ Test case ]
1. Try to login using a wrong password (assuming `allowed-failures` setting is default)
2. Continue writing a password as soon as the interface is sensitive again
3. The interface will go back to user selection
4. Select your user again
5. The password field is active and you can properly write the password with no wait
[ Regression potential ]
Login questions which might have been already requested on more complex pam configurations could not be properly handled (requesting answers again).
Login/Unlock retries could not be handled properly.
This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.28.2-0ubuntu1
