Bug Description

Hi,

I am using unity-greeter version 12.10.2-0ubuntu4.

My system is set to automatically open Onboard when the unity-greeter appears; but this might not be relevant. Thus, when unity-greeter appears, Onboard also appears and the focus is set to the password field and I can immediately enter the password; so everything is ok so far.

However, if I click on an appindicator, the focus goes away from the password field, and clicking on the password field to set the focus back to it does not work; as if the clicks were ignored. I have to restart the computer to put unity-greeter in its state where the password field is selected (since it gets automatically selected when the unity-greeter appears).

If you need further pieces of information, please ask for them.

Cheers

I would not tag it as an accessibility issue, since I could reproduce the problem also with Onboard disabled.

Confirming, the focus on the password entry is lost when any of the indicators is clicked. X falls back to focus-follows-mouse and with the pointer over the screen keyboard, key strokes are sent to Onboard instead of the password box.
