Public bug reported:

After I updated GNOME via snap refresh, I rebooted the PC and then
clicked on my username. I entered my password the first time
incorrectly. However, when I was typing my password in the second time,
after the 5th character, the password text-field truncated that text
from the left so that only the last 4 characters would be in the text
field.

This forced me to re-enter my password again and happens when I log into
my account immediately after boot.

The password field should not clear or truncate any input when I type
into it. The moment the text field becomes active, it should retain all
text instead of clearing it out.
