This is very easy to reproduce, you don't even need to type your real password: 1 - Lock the screen with Ctrl-Alt-L 2 - Wait until it turns completely black (aprox. 15 seconds) 3 - Start typing, it doesn't need to be your password, you can count your chars and see that the amount on the screen (when it wakes up) doesn't match. e.g. I tried typing 1234 and only three stars appeared.
Although this is not a security concern, it's a pretty annoying regression, so I hope the fix gets backported to trusty.
