As far as I can tell, this is either an 'st' (Shell Toolkit in gnome- shell, also used on the login screen) bug, or an issue with our theming which is patched into gnome-shell.
The same st gnome-shell code is used in security prompts. So I think this bug lays entirely within gnome-shell and not the other components. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743058 Title: Input field height changes slightly when entering in st password fields. Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It appears there is the font/height rendering issue in multiple places. With the textentry "jumping" in height slightly upon entering anything. I have observed this on the login screen password entry screen, lockscreen entry, and the gnome pin entry for my ssh/gpg smartcard. It almost feels as if the "dots" of the hidden password are either of larger font size and/or bold, whilst an empty text field and/or unfocused text field font is either smaller and or regular (non-bold). Resulting in a rendering / layout jiggles.
