Pasting my password copied from my password manager is not working on the login screen.
Running on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
I can verify that.
Also after entering my login, if I select the text and drag it, My laptop locks up.
EDIT: Also on ubuntu 14.04
I ran into this as well today.
I can confirm, also reported: Ability to paste in login screen - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions
Is this ever going to be addressed? Still an issue with the 2017.3 beta.
Agreed, this is still a huge pain for me, especially as I find I often have to delete my Unity config when I upgrade. I use long, randomised passwords and not being able to copy paste is a huge pain.
My workaround is to use xdotool to type the password, but the login screen also seems to drop input sometimes, so it really is awkward.
Yeah, that sucks. Noted.
Seems to be reported all other the place. Rather vote for the issue to have it fixed: Unity Issue Tracker - Linux - Paste from outside Unity into the Launcher input fields doesn't work, and nor do context menus
