Bug Description
Similary behaviour of this bug was report in #1716159 and #1765261, but still occured.
Step to reproduce :
- Login your Ubuntu 20.04 desktop session,
- Modifi the user password with User Pannel Settings,
- Select a User,
- Change his password with a new one containing some composed char like "ë" or "ê" (composed by two keys for example "^" key + "e" key),
- Validate.
Now, the User is not abble to connect himself with gdm, because it never allow the user fills the composed characters (nothing appends) in the password field.
The user can login by using command line with the new password.
"password" cmd line produce same thing when use composed character, gdm is still not able to manage composed character.
