[Bug 1926909] [NEW] When decrypting the disk, every keystroke is registered as a character of the password. Even with backspace this happens

Public bug reported:

Even Control + Alt + Del doesn't work, the Control is registered as a
character of the password just like backspace. It seems that this can be
triggered by pressing the Fx keys to get the text-based decryption
screen and then going back to the GUI decryption screen. I tested here
in a VM and if I press F1, the text-based screen ppears; if I press F2,
the GUI appears, the F3, the text-based and so on). The only way to
workaround this issue is force rebooting the computer using the physical
button.

Version: 0.9.5-0ubuntu3
Kubuntu 21.04

** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- When decrypting the disk, even key stroke count as a character of the password, even Control + Alt + Del and backspace
+ When decrypting the disk, every keystroke is registered as a character of the password. Even with backspace this happens
