Bug Linux editor: Sign up: Paste does not work for password field

tl;dr

Copy paste for password does not work, need to type it letter by letter​

Context

Using KeyPass to generate and store secure passwords.
To use Unity I need to login with Unity account.​

Priority

• Low

Steps to reproduce:

1. OS: Ubuntu 15.10
   
2. Download unity: http://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015082501_amd64.deb
   
3. Launch Unity, it will ask for User name and Password
4. Copy text from gedit/KeyPass or other Linux program
5. Try to paste it into Password field

Expected result:

• CTRL+V should paste text from clipboard
• SHIFT+Insert should paste text from clipboard
• Right mouse click should show popup/context-menu with Paste item/button.

Actual result:

• None of the above works, so I need to type letter by letter with keyboard

 

Have you tried using the latest version of Unity for Linux:
http://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015091501_amd64.deb

The latest version available can be downloaded from the following post and scrolling to the last entry. This is where the latest version of Unity3d for Linux will be updated and the link will be provided when a new release is available:

Tested unity-editor 5.1.0f3 with current archlinux, same problem.

Both the login name and the password field do not seem to support copy/paste.

 

I'm trying to sign-in but the input fields won't accept any keypress for me, although they do highlight when clicked

 

Same here with latest Unity 5.2 on ubuntu 15.10

 

unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015091501_amd64.deb

I have to computers with the same version installed, Desktop works fine but labtop has this issue, after a few attempts i manage to log in but Arrow keys dont work during play mode so you cant any of your work. I unattached the game tap same issue, build the game and executed same problem. so bypassing the login issue will bring you more issues

 

Same problem on 5.4, Ubuntu 15.10.

Worse, I can't input text in the login dialog box for the asset store.

 

Just ran into the same issue, with the latest Unity Editor.

I use a password manager, so typing this in by hand was no fun

 

same on my ends. just grabbed the latest. typing my pw seems impossible ^^

 

Looks like the related problem. Under Unity desktop manager I could get keyboard focus on Username/Password field after few minutes.

This is indeed a reproducable bug.

Happens with KDE, too.

 

I'm having the same, running Gentoo Linux with KDE5.

Especially fun since I use GUIDs as passwords

 

Same problem but with debian Jessie usign kernel 3.17
Unity version: unity-editor-5.4.2f2+20161111_amd64.deb

 

Same problem with the .deb package I got from this forum:

unity-editor-5.1.0f3+2015082501_amd64.deb

Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

Linux ________ 4.2.0-42-generic #49~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP ______ x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

Same problem under Arch, using i3 desktop manager.

I'm not typing my 30+ character password out by hand.

I guess I just will use UE until this is fixed.

 

Still a problem with UnitySetup-2018.2.5f1 on Ubuntu 18.04 GNOME.

 

You can always try to use a combination of sleep and xdotool type "password" to type in the password automatically as a workaround.

But this should not be needed nonetheless.

 

This has always happened in lubuntu I use. Solution for me get a hol of the window , top bar, wobble it vigorously, the click on line and I can type. Some times it takes 4 or 5 wobbles. It sounds crazy but it works.

 

This is still an issue on Unity 2018.2.14f1 on Elementary OS 5.0 (Ubuntu 18)

 

Still the same for me.

I think it's safe to say if it's been this way for more than three years, then nobody cares and it won't get fixed. It wouldn't be so bad if it stayed logged in across application restarts, but of course it doesn't.

My solution is just use a weak password for my unity account, which is totally fine.
