Bug Description

On the login screen, after entering an incorrect password, the box shakes and the error "Sorry, that didn't work please try again." is displayed. In previous Ubuntu versions you could immediately begin entering your password again. In 20.04 there is a delay of about 2-3 seconds before the password entry filled is auto selected. Eventually the orange border appears and text input is filled. This process can be quickened by clicking on the password field with the mouse pointer.
