Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Dear Developers,

I hope my english is good and possible easy understandable my problem description.
My Lucid system I possible logging in with following way if I not want choosing another username:
When the GDM login screen is presented the screen, I enough press an Enter key, writing my password and pressing Enter key again.

In Natty (and iI think Maverick too) happening following:
When the GDM login screen is presenting the screen, if I press Enter key, nothing happening. I need press a Down arrow key if I would like logging in the first awailable username (my always using username because one user have my system).
If I press for example an Alt+Tab key combination, the first username is selected and my prewious wrote login method works.

Perhaps the GDM login screen is not focused, or the user chooser list the first username is not selected automaticaly when GDM login screen is presented the screen.
I using GDM accessible login feature with screen reader support, and I using Orca Screen Reader.

I need reporting this bug with upstream, or this problem is only Ubuntu Natty and Maverick specific?

Hy,

My sighted colleague wrote me following this problem related:
"Looks to me that the userlist is focused, but the first list item is
not selected. When I press Down Arrow once, the first list item becomes
selected.
Then I can press Enter and type my password."
So, if possible, similar with Lucid packaged GDM, need selecting the
first username automaticaly if the GDM login screen is presented the screen.
Better reporting this bug with upstream level?

Same problem here in Natty. When I start the computer and gdm is displayed, I can't press enter to type my password. It wasn't a problem in Maverick.
