Regression in ssh.feature with buster

The ssh.feature contains a test using nautilus to mount a remote endpoint over SSH.

Quoting the relevant part of the test suite (features/step_definitions/ssh.rb):

Then /^I verify the SSH fingerprint for the SFTP server$/ do
  try_for(30) do
    Dogtail::Application.new('gnome-shell').child?('Log In Anyway')
  end
  # Here we'd like to click on the button using Dogtail, but something
  # is buggy so let's just use the keyboard.
  @screen.type(Sikuli::Key.ENTER)
end

It might be that we’re having an issue finding “Log In Anyway”, and/or the default is now to “Cancel Login”, and we’re getting a host key verification error every time (see screenshot).

(If that’s an issue with finding the right widget, using accerciser to find the right Dogtail call could help.)

In the meanwhile, as the “Cancel Login” button is highlighted (see screenshot), one needs to send a Sikuli::Key.Tab before the Sikuli::Key.ENTER one. I’ll implement this as a workaround but keep this ticket open so that we decide whether/how to fix this (properly).
