Tested kernel 4.13 in Arch Linux. Cannot reproduce the bug with it. Fedora is in 4.12.14-300.fc26 and is still reproducible there.

The first letters are caught, but some letters are not captured. It's as if the keyboard shut down during a few seconds and then returned, and I could type the whole password properly. Things I tried: - Typing the password blindly (just inputting the entire password and hitting Enter without worrying about missing characters) but it rejected the password as incorrect. - Typing decryption password without Plymouth (this is not a Plymouth bug). This affects Debian 9 (didn't affect Debian 8), Fedora, Arch Linux and possibly others. It cannot be reproduced with Ubuntu or other distributions with old packages. Some component introduced this problem recently.
