Title:
Authentication is cancelled (and immediately restarted) hitting Escape
causing fingerprint to stop working and multiple stale gdm working
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Test case ]
In the user session lockscreen (gdm login screen is fine):
- Lock the screen
- Hit Enter
- Hit Escape
- Repeat
Checking watch -n1 "ps aux |grep gdm-session-worker" (or just ps'ing
after unlocked) gdm workers should not be running (a part the one used
for logging in).
Fingerprint unlocking is particularly hit by this as the service may
prevent further authentication to happen until the PAM module times
out.

[ Regression potential ]
Authenticating at login screen or at unlock screen stops working after
wrong credentials have been used once or the request has been
cancelled via escape key.
