I am experiencing the same issue as Vadim Peretokin above. I would agree that it appears to be a separate issue from the one discussed here -- it seems to have nothing to do with miscapitalization of the password (as revealed by "Show Text"). I have rarely experienced the issue at the first login screen but quite often at the lock screen. The only solution I have found is to reboot the machine (sometimes multiple times). I would prefer not to clutter up this discussion with an unrelated bug and can post a separate report but wanted see first if there was consensus that Vadim's and my issue sounds unrelated to the bug in this report.
