Bug Description

 0 down vote favorite

Using ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-31-generic x64 and Gnome 1:3.0~6ubuntu3

On initial boot login screen displays ok - using mouse to choose user it then asks for password - enter password login ok

On initial boot login screen displays ok - just press enter - does not ask for password and logs in OK

I think this may be a security issue - Can anyone please clarify?

Ran ubuntu-bug gdm and attached
