2014-02-25 00:53:19 Frode Lindeijer description This happens when Ubuntu asks for my password for getting updates or packages. If I press the menu-key at that moment (the one next to the Windows-key) a menu appears as usual. When I click on the password entry window it returns to the top but I can't enter my password, I can however press the two buttons "Cancel" and "Ok". If I try to enter text anyway nothing happens until I press "Cancel" or "Ok". If I press either of those buttons the password screen closes and the text I entered is added to the last active text field. This happens when Ubuntu asks for the users password. If the menu-key is pressed at that moment (the one next to the Super-key) the context menu appears behind the password entry window. All text entered at this point will not be added to the password entry, but instead to the last active text field when the password entry is closed.
