[Bug 1885530] [NEW] password doesn't leave dots on being entered

[Chris Guiver]

Public bug reported:

This issue is really minor & petty.  Dots aren't appearing on entry of
password.

** Background

New QA-test install of Lubuntu focal (20.04.1).  On first boot of new
system I typed my password & expected to see dots appear for each
character in the password box, but none appear. On valid keying of my
password & hitting enter, I'm logged in though.

If i enter an invalid password, I get a delay followed by "Login
failed", which is normal behavior, except no dots appeared as I typed
the invalid password.

** Expected behavior

On each letter of my password, I expect a dot to appear.

If I click inside the password area, the dots start to appear & from
this point behavior is as expected (dots for each character, normal
entry or login-failed depending what password.


(I'll explore this some more & make ammendments if I learn more. A reboot has the same behavior, as does logout..)
