Bug Description
Ubiquity in greeter mode activates a11y_indicator_
This menu grabs Ctrl-H key as "Set High Contrast".
If user who use Ctrl-H as BackSpace mistypes in UserInfo,
he will get unwanted High Contrast mode and cannot turn
off this mode easily. (LP: #997065)
I think this is not a bug. But bring down annoying.
Could you re-asign the key binding?
Procedure:
1. Bootup from Ubuntu Desktop CD
2. Do nothing in gfxboot (to boot ubiquity with greeter option)
3. Displayed daialog to ask "Try Ubuntu" or "Install"
4. Displayed a11y indicator(blue circle) in top-right
5. Step to UserInfo dialog
6. Type any character and Ctrl-H
Expected result for Ctrl-H user:
- remove in the previous character
or
- nothing happen
Actual result:
- High Contrast enabled
