  Hello, folks,
  
  Today when I returned to my computer (which I locked with Super+L) and
  attempted to unlock it, it displayed my passphrase in cleartext in the
  'Password' box. I noticed as soon as I got the first character in, then
  typed in the second character and it stayed clear. I then picked up my
  phone to record the attached video and while I was fiddling with it to
  get a good camera shot, the screen locked (for inactivity perhaps?) and
  when I unlocked this time, the password only displayed as dots (as
  expected).
  
  So unfortunately, I don't know how to replicate. It _did_ occur though,
  as the attached video will show if you go slowly (look for "hu", the
  first characters of legendary password "hunter2").
