Thanks, it's confusing that this bug was used to handled some artwork
issue and repurposed for another problem now.

Could someone having the issue give details of the  configuration used
(ISO version, hardware or VM, how the encryption was configured?)

We would also need a journal log from a system just after it had the
issue with a mention of the time where the problem happened (to be able
to match the log), ideally a debug log as explained on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Enabling_Debugging

Title:
  Decryption passphrase prompt not displayed until escape is pressed
  (Xubuntu hirsute test case)

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in xubuntu-artwork package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Release: Xubuntu daily build (20210226 ISO). Testing installation with
  lvm+encryption (1451)

  SW and version: Not sure which package so reporting under cryptsetup.
  Could be plymouth?

  Expected: After a successful install with lvm+encryption, decryption
  prompt should be displayed during boot to enter passphrase.

  Actual: No prompt is displayed. If we hit 'Escape', text prompt is
  displayed and hitting 'Escape' again shows graphical prompt. This is
  main issue.

  Secondary issue with UX.
  a) on text prompt there is no space after the prompt. Not even colon.
  b) on graphical prompt no box is provided so user is confused where to click mouse button (unless it is just my (wrong) assumption, most people click on text input area first before start typing). Also either the hidden box is wrongly aligned or too large so that typed passphrase is not center-aligned below prompt text.

  Screenshots attached.
