Public bug reported: After the screen is locked, one normally swipes the screen up and types the password into the password field that is shown. Sometimes, the password field resets the typed text every second (as if the lockscreen is reloaded). Subsequently, when you finish typing your password, the beginning of the password is missing and unlocking fails repeatedly.
Workaround: Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 (login screen), click your user account and type the password.
