Public bug reported: Even Control + Alt + Del doesn't work, the Control is registered as a character of the password just like backspace. It seems that this can be triggered by pressing the Fx keys to get the text-based decryption screen and then going back to the GUI decryption screen. I tested here in a VM and if I press F1, the text-based screen ppears; if I press F2, the GUI appears, the F3, the text-based and so on). The only way to workaround this issue is force rebooting the computer using the physical button.
