Same here: with Lion - open lid, type in password.

Mountain Lion - open lid, push first character of password, no response? keep trying again until asterisk appears, then type rest of password.

Another vote on this. Annoying "issue".

I had the same issue on my iMac and it was really annoying. I found that un-checking the box that reads "automatically connect to networks" (or something to that order) helped fix my issue. It may work for you too!

I have this problem as well; it's my most frustrating experience with Mt. Lion so far.

Where is that? I tried Spotlight searching for "automatically" and "networks" and couldn't find it.

If you just go to Network Preferences you should see it.

I noticed a simple solution: Wait for the mouse pointer to show, then you're good to log in

I close my lid and my MBP (last of the 17" line) never sleeps. Really frustrating.
