Bug Description

Some other people reported this bug [here](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1409433/22-04-cant-input-password-for-wifi)

Basically, when you try to log into a network, there is no way to input your password. The only way to reach a visible network seems to be by one of the workarounds: use the "Connect to Hidden Network" option, or directly edit the network config files.

It seems like a critical bug to me because it can demotivate new users of Ubuntu and Linux.

I joined a screen record of the prompt blinking on screen.

Hi. I got the same problem when I tried to use the Wayland session. When I switched to Xorg - the problem has gone.
Besides, it's not a fresh install of Ubuntu. I firstly installed one of the previous editions of Kubuntu (KDE-based distro version), then upgraded to Kubuntu 22.04, and finally sometime later installed Gnome desktop and removed the KDE environment.

For information, I got this bug from a fresh install of 22.04. Also, after a reboot, the prompt works as expected for a while, but I always end up with the bug after a while.
