Public bug reported: This seems to only affect when one is using Esperanto as the default language.
Setups to reproduce: 1) Install Gnome Shell (I don't know if it only affects other DE. I will check it out and update this) 2) Install Esperanto language pack 3) Make Esperanto your logging session ( 4) Log out 5) Log back in 6) Lock screen (Ctrl + Alt + L ) 6) Type password to unlock a) Should display a symbol (*) to denote that it is receiving input, but instead it is blank b) The password character is blank but by typing the correct password one can still unlock the lock-screen, so that means it is receiving the input correctly.
