Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 and in the console the line "ubuntu login: " can be deleted. Steps to reproduce:

1. After the line "ubuntu login: " appears press del.
2. Now 3 characters with backspace can be deleted.
3. These steps can be repeated until the complete line is empty.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

This seems to be a funny little bug in the kernel console driver. When I send getty a SIGSTOP, it still works, and when I run getty on a pty under gnome-terminal, this doesn't happen.
