2017-02-03 00:23:04 feroxy description When using fingerprint login, the login display for a failed swipe followed by a success looks rather ugly. Upon successful fingerprint, the login button is not shown in full, but cut in half. Two failed swipes followed by a successful swipe actually results in a non visible login button whereupon login can be continued by pressing enter. Similar issue arises upon a timed out fingerprint login, with the password field being slightly cut off. Failed swipe plus timeout is even worse looking with just the top border of password field showing. In both cases it is still possible to enter the password and continue on though. Two failed swipes plus a timeout results in a completely non visible password entry field, but again password can still be typed blind followed by enter to login. There are other usability and cosmetic issues around this feature, but this are the glaring ones I find. Would suggest display behaviour similar to a failed password login rather than list of fail messages, along with option to switch to alternate login method Tested on Ubuntu 16.10 screen res 1920x1080 When using fingerprint login, the login display for a failed swipe followed by a success looks rather ugly.
