Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
Hi,
In th new fast user switcher applet, when I click a user name, I'm presented with the new GDM with only the intended user present. It contains a password box, and two buttons called cancel and log in. The problem occurs when I've clicked the FUSA accidentally, or missed the click and clicked a different user and don't know the password of the user I clicked. in this case, I'd expect the cancel button to take me back to the full GDM list, as it happens during normal log in. But in this case, the cancel button just reloads the same page. So there is no way left to get back to my desktop. I have to restart the machine and log back into my account. All my unsaved works are lost. I believe this is a serious bug that needs to be addressed quickly. When I click the cancel button I should be taken to the normal GDM list so that I can log in to my account.
Thanks for your time.
