Bug description:
WORKAROUND: After typing an incorrect password, click Cancel, then
click your name, then enter your password again.
---
Trying to log into my session (Gnome, Xorg), if I enter the wrong
password before entering it correctly, the session doesn't load and I
get a purple screen, a mouse cursor, and an invisible but clickable
menu in the top right. If I enter it correctly the first time, there
is no problem.
I've replicated this from a fresh boot, after logging out and after
'sudo service gdm restart' from the Ctrl-Alt-F4 console.
This is a fresh install, and didn't occur when I was using a previous
install of 18.04 (until Friday).
