Public bug reported:
After upgrade to 16.04, any action which invokes the fingerprint scanner
(for me: unlocking screen, sudo, etc) will cause the scanner to flash
its green light until I scan my finger. Then the desired authentication
and action take place.
However, the scanner continues to flash its green light until I scan my
finger a second time. However, this scan accomplishes nothing except to
make it stop flashing.
Also, when I log in (with my password, not fingerprint, otherwise I
won't have access to encrypted folders), the scanner flashes needlessly
until I scan once.
