Password promt reset during typing on login

Hi,

I have this very strange behavior, that my login password prompt resets during typing a couple of letters in. I can’t make out any pattern to this, apart from it only happening once each prompt. Afterwards I can type the password and login as usual. If I enter and failed to type it correctly (often because of the first few character missing), it happens again for the new prompt. I’m also fairly certain that this is not a keyboard issue, as the same setup works fine for other distros.
I really don’t know where to start diagnosing this, but am happy to supply any logs/package version etc. if someone points me in any direction.

Thanks already!

Hi @joknovic … I’m not sure what this is exactly, but to get the best help from others, include the version of the OS you are using and any setup (KVM, etc.) that might play into it.
