    Noticed an interesting problem. Unity (5.4.0p1) doesn't allow input in Unity Account username and password field. However this works as expected under Ubuntu Unity desktop.

    Testcase:
    1. Launch Unity and open a new project.
    2. From Account drop menu, Select 'Sign In'
    3. In the 'Sign into your Unity Account' dialog, change keyboard focus to 'Email' textbox.

    Under Gnome-shell desktop environment, anything you type is not displayed in the textbox. Under Unity desktop environment. It works as expected.

    Version 5.4.0p1 (7697114b6141) Personal

    Interesting, could be an issue with the CEF integration.

    Any thoughts on debugging this problem ? Will look if there any other known issues with CEF on gnome-shell.

    Confirmed with 5.5.0b5+20160927 on Metacity 2.34.13.

    Upon clicking in the "email" editbox, the window highlights and the cursor appears very briefly before focus is immediately lost. 100% CPU utilization by the Unity process.
