I use Screen Sharing in OS X Lion around my home all the time.

I might want to get something setup from the office on the TV's Mac mini for example without necessarily walking there and turning on the TV.

This often works great. However, if the computer is on the login screen in particular, but that is not the only time, I can connect to it live with screen sharing. I can move the curser of the computer too, but it never lets me click on anything, type anything in the sign in boxes, etc.

Why is it I can connect, but the control isn't really there. Yes, I have controlled turned on, and I do move the curser, it just doesn't click or type, or select.

Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this? Again, it only happens with the one computer. The Early 2009 mini connected to my TV.

Thanks.
