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

[Sebastien Bacher]

The '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' isn't clear, do you mean it doesn't impact the screen
showed by default but only if you dismiss it and bring it back later?

Title:
  When decrypting the disk, every keystroke is registered as a character
  of the password. Even with backspace this happens

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
