unable to add password to new users
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Issue: User -> add user doesn't work. Unable to enter a password for any new user created after initial user and first boot, and so unable to create usable user login.

Tested in Budgie and Gnome variants.

Steps to reproduce:
Go to the user click add user section of Settings. Unlock. Add User. Enter new user name.
Allow user to set a password when they next login: Next time you try to login, you have to type in a password, but there is not set password, and there is not option to set a new one.
Set a password now: Does not work. The Add button is still grayed out.

Expected behavior:
Should be allowed to either add user after setting password, or prompt to set password next time you try to login.

However, it is different, as that refers to adding privilege to user, and this bug states that adding a user cannot be done.

I am no longer able to reproduce this in Budgie. I was able to create a user, with a password, and then delete the user.
Please file a new bug if this is an issue.
