Hi Everybody, 

just to let you know some strange behaviour I encountered while logging in to Opensuse. 

On my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T420s, Opensuse 12.1, SSD, UMTS) my Opensuse password lasts for 4 weeks until it is expiring and needs to be updated. During the login with my user, the system then requests to "Please choose a new password" and shows a little gui with two text fields for password and password confirmation. When I click on one text field to put a new password the keyboard is not reacting and I cannot type any character. I cannot type any character even when I activate the other text field with the mouse. 

A workround is to confirm the (empty) text fields with pushing the OK button. Opensuse then complains with "Bad password" "Too short". After closing this notifier, I can type characters to the text fields to put the password and everything is fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Password expired
2.I'm asked to put a new password
3.Cannot type any character in the first instance.

How do you login? Via GDM, KDM, or text console? Do you have screenshot of the screen?
