Public bug reported: I use my computer with both Hebrew & English. My password is set in English.
I wanted to install an update of a software (Atom) through gdebi. Because my keyboard was set on Hebrew, once the password pop up came on the screen, I could only type letters in Hebrew, there was no way to click on anything, or use the keyboard shortcut - to switch the keyboard back to English. I had to exit gdebi, switch the keyboard to English, and then run the update again, so I can finally type the password in English.
