Bug Description

When logging in, if you type the wrong username, you can not go back and change it. You are only presented with a password prompt. This is with:

greeter-hide-users=true

in

/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

The only way I could find to get around it (and ubuntu-users list) is to

ctrl-alt-f1
login
sudo service lightdm restart

Here is some info:

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Release: 12.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

$ apt-cache policy lightdm-gtk-greeter
lightdm-gtk-greeter:
  Installed: 1.1.5-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1.1.5-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.5-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

Should get username and password login fields to type in

4) What happened instead

Only get password field to type in

thanks
