Bug Description

After a recent round of updates the password prompt to unlock encrypted disks has multiple problems:

1. The prompt that shows the name of the disk being unlocked pushes the prompt off the edge of the screen so it says:

"king the disk [volume path which runs off the right side of the screen]

2. If the pass-phrase is took long the number of stars typed stops incrementing because the stars no longer fit into the pretty little rounded window allotted to them.
