Public bug reported:
The problem happens at the password field of the login screen after
booting up Ubuntu 18.04 with Unity desktop installed. The problem does
not happen with the password field of the lock screen after login.
The default system keyboard layout is Dvorak (for example, if you go to
TTY1 the terminal will type using the Dvorak keyboard layout).
On LightDM, the user logging in is a Qwerty user and is not familiar
with Dvorak. When they attempt to login they are told their password is
incorrect. Checking the chosen keyboard layout, English (US) is chosen.
Typing the password as though the Dvorak keyboard layout had been
selected works. Therefore, the greeter is in fact using Dvorak in spite
of the user setting.
Reproduce:
1: Install Ubuntu from scratch and choose Dvorak as the keyboard layout.
2: Create a second user ('user 2') who uses Qwerty.
3: Ask user 2 to log in.
Expected behaviour:
4: User is logged in to their desktop.
Actual result:
4: Their password will fail, unless typed by the Dvorak typist.
