Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
In the recent past, I could <TAB> after the user name to type the password, or if I so preferred, <ENTER>
Now I have to press <ENTER> as the only option again, as it used to bemany many versions ago (before Dapper, not sure when it has changed).
It actually differs from Windows and other OSes now, and it looks like a step back for no particular reason.
It does not crash, or seams a security issue, but smells like a misbehavior that should be fixed at the very least.
Best if Ubuntu keep improving rather the degenerating back to its more simple roots. ;-)
