Keyboard cannot be minimized when typing passwords in landspace mode
There is probably a more accurate description with all the correct terminology for this ticket. Feel free to correct it yourself.
What happens:
When the device is in landscape mode and you have a password dialog (e.g for the SIM card PIN or to unlock a keyring from gnome-keyring/seahorse
), the cancel
option in the password dialog is hidden by the keyboard, that cannot be minimized.
This causes problems because, a user in this situation cannot:
- Minimize the keyboard to access the cancel button on the password dialog
- Access the top drop down menu to change from landscape to portrait
He cannot escape this until he either:
- Types the correct password
- If he does not remember the correct password (or decided that he does not want to unlock the SIM card or keyring) type the wrong password so that the keyboard goes away and he can escape the dialog, by pressing the cancel button.
Bellow are some screenshots of this.
This is unlocking the SIM card:
This is trying to unlock a keyring:
