onboard don't work in lightdm login screen in precise alpha2

[David López]

I have onboard 0.97.0 in precise alpha2 (with virtualbox). In the lighdm screen onboard don't work, I click on the password box, I click buttons in onboard but nothing seems to happen. This bug prevents starting a session without a physical keyboard (unless autologin is on).

Please note, this bug is diferent than #930891 . #930891 is a bug in the Spanish language that prevents starting onboard (in lightdm or wherever). I've removed the Spanish language and now onboard can start: nicely in unity, ugly in lightdm (#937871), but it can start. However in lightdm it doesn't seem to work.

You can work around the problem by enabling force to top mode in the Preferences of Onboard.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Forget about what I wrote in message #1, because it is wrong. Force to top mode is the work around force the bug about not being able to type into dash. I don't know about any work around to type the password into dash, apart activating automatic login.

Sorry, but no, the work around does not work for me.
Different machines, one of them a tablet pc (wetab/exopc).
That really hurts.
