Err, you don't need to drag anything. Just pressing escape or enter works fine. Also, IIUC, with 3.8, you can just start typing your password. There are valid complaints about GNOME 3 but this doesn't appear to be one of them.

Great if they've fixed it, was definitely a problem. The 'press enter' option wasn't terribly obvious - thanks for pointing it out.

So you are saying the new version fixes the behavior the poster describes, which those using Fedora 18 have to currently endure? That there was a version of Gnome Shell released with this behavior seems a legitimate complaint against Gnome.

Hitting enter at the lock screen on Fedora 18 gives me the password prompt.

Perhaps, but the most recent visual designs I've seen give no indication that you can do so, because they don't look like a thing that accepts typed input of a password.

Yeah. Some of the most useful features seem to lack discoverability which is indeed a problem. Hopefully they fix that in subsequent revisions.
