[users] change button should be unactive by default

[Vasil Yakauleu]

Ubuntu 14.04 Fresh install of daily build iso of 9March2014 + updates. Reproducible in VM and on real machine

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to the System Settings
2. Choose User Accounts
3. Click on Password field to change user password (without Unlocking)
4. Enter correctly old password and New password and Confirmation for new password

Actual result:
3. Change button is available when nothing entered for old and new password fields
4. "Change" button is inactive (not clickable) - see screenshot attached

Expected result:
3. "Change" button should not be available when nothing entered for old and new password fields
4. "Change" button should be available and when clicked then user password should be changed

About Unlocking:
User do not need to unlock dialog when s/he wants to change his/her own password. When user wants to change password for another user - only then s/he need to Unlock dialog
It is implemented so and works as expected

About asking user password when s/he wants to change his/her own password:
When user wants to change his/her own password, then there is no sence to ask user to enter his/her password to perform password changing operation, because user has already entered it for old password field

Hi Vasil,

you must first press "unlock" (top right)

My bad, now I see.

[Vasil Yakauleu (vasilbelarus)]

But why this new window opens if password cannot be changed without unlocking first?

[Vasil Yakauleu (vasilbelarus)]

Finaly - it is not my bad!!!
Bug exists - user do not need to unlock this page firs - see steps below:
1. Navigate to the System Settings
2. Choose User Accounts
3. Click on Password field to change user password (without unlocking)
4. Click "Change" button > user prompted to enter password
5. Enter correctly old password and New password and Confirmation for new password and click "Change" button again

Actual result:
4. Change button is available when nothing entered for old and new password fields
5. Button is working and password changed

Expected result:
4. Button should not be available - it is a separate bug, because after you start typing this button will turn unavailable until passwords correct.
5. Now it works as expected, but only if on step 4 "Change" button clicked. When you start typing without clicking "Change" button first then this button will never get available

Found one more problem here, see below
1. Navigate to the System Settings
2. Choose User Accounts
3. Click on Password field to change user password (without unlocking)
4. Click "Change" button > user prompted to enter password
5. Enter correctly old password and New password (make sure you know it and can remember for later use) and Confirmation for new password and click "Change" button again
!!!On the next step your password will be changed to the new one entered abowe!!!
6. When asked for password click cancel and do not enter your current password

Actual result:
6. User was asked for password, but proceed successfully without entering password at all

Thanks, your bug report is a bit confusing and your comments seems to describe similar but different issues. Reading through it, it seems the main issue is that the "change" button is active by default when it should only work once the infos are entered (the other issues are side effect of you clicking on it without entering the details, that shouldn't be possible to do)

[Vasil Yakauleu (vasilbelarus)]

To summ up all information:

Issue-1: "change" button is active by default when it should only work once the infos are entered

Issue-2: User promted to enter password and can proceed successfully without entering password. See steps below:
1. Navigate to the System Settings
2. Choose User Accounts
3. Click on Password field to change user password (without unlocking)
4. Enter correctly old password and New password (make sure you know it and can remember for later use) and Confirmation for new password and click "Change" button again
!!!On the next step your password will be changed to the new one entered abowe
5. When asked for password click cancel and do not enter your current password
Actual result:
5. User was asked for password, but proceed successfully without entering password
