Public bug reported:

When using fingerprint login, the login display for a failed swipe followed by 
a success looks rather ugly. Upon successful fingerprint, the login button is 
not shown in full, but cut in half.
Two failed swipes followed by a successful swipe actually results in a non 
visible login button whereupon login can be continued by pressing enter.

Similar issue arises upon a timed out fingerprint login, with the password 
field being slightly cut off. Failed swipe plus timeout is even worse looking 
with just the top border of password field showing. In both cases it is still 
possible to enter the password and continue on though.
Two failed swipes plus a timeout results in a completely non visible password 
entry field, but again password can still be typed blind followed by enter to 
login.

There are other usability and cosmetic issues around this feature, but
these are the glaring ones I find.

Would suggest display behaviour similar to a failed password login
rather than list of fail messages, along with option to switch to
alternate login method

Tested on Ubuntu 16.10
screen res 1920x1080
