Public bug reported: When I attempt to log into a local (Getty) console, having entered my username, the password prompt appears but then the cursor moves to the next line as I'm typing the password, and the log in times out with a 'Login incorrect' message, then the console prompt loops, displaying '[machine-name] login', followed by 'Login incorrect', until systemd restarts the service for that console.
With the previous kernel, i.e. 4.18.0-13.14-generic the login process works fine. This wouldn't normally bother me, as I don't tend to use the local consoles for much, I just noticed it when I wanted to use one to check that something else was working correctly. I've currently set my GRUB config to boot the old 4.18.0-13.14-generic kernel, as a work-around.
