Bug Description

This bug can be easily recreated in Ubuntu 14.04 beta:

1. Start computer
2. Click a username and enter false password
3. Wait a few seconds until you see the text in orange that tell you something is wrong and that you should try again.
4. Click "Abort" button
5. Click on a username.

- Now the login options, everything in the middle of the screen is all gone

6. Wait about 20-30 seconds and all login options will come back, normal users shutdown after 10-15 seconds. If the time to come back was less than 3 seconds I would not notice this bug, but maybe it is a security issue, that should be fixed or an issue that is fixed with some ugly work around.

Issues with login is not nice and can be major security issues.
