Description Alexander Larsson 2003-02-19 19:33:30 UTC 
From bug 81210:

1) enter any username
2) start entering a password, press Caps Lock
3) enter a bad password
Result:
a "Password" field appears again, not "Username". Only way I know of to get
back to the "username" prompt is Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2003-02-19 20:14:12 UTC 
Cosmetic error. You can enter your username at one of the password dialogs.
Comment 2 George Lebl 2003-07-31 21:00:15 UTC 
I can't quite reproduce this with neither stable nor devel gdm tree.
Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2003-08-12 12:42:35 UTC 
fixed in rawhide at least.
