Evening all. I have been experimenting how to work around this. I may have a partial (and slightly embarrassing) solution.
When the password/passphrase prompt comes up, hit BACKSPACE about 20-30 times. Type in your normal password. Hit <CR> If you don't get a newline and acceptance of your password, hit backspace 20-30 times again and re-enter. Hit <CR> At this stage it usually works for me. The key is, if when you hit backspace you don't see the password being accepted, then DO NOT TRY TO HIT <CR> AGAIN - that will use up one of your login attempts. Just hit a bunch of backspaces and re-enter. I realise this is a potch, but as I usually suspend my laptop I only have to go through this palaver once a week or so (usually after a kernel update). Let me know if this is of any help.
