Title:
  Encrypted filesystem password prompt is ugly and doesn't fit display
  on boot

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a recent round of updates the password prompt to unlock
  encrypted disks has multiple problems:

  1. The prompt that shows the name of the disk being unlocked pushes
  the prompt off the edge of the screen so it says:

  "king the disk [volume path which runs off the right side of the
  screen]

  2. If the pass-phrase is took long the number of stars typed stops
  incrementing because the stars no longer fit into the pretty little
  rounded window allotted to them.
