Bug Description

The first character of my password may start with a shifted character. When booting, one might expect to save time by having the shift key already pressed down, but when the password prompt to unlock the partition appears, the keyboard seems to no longer work unless the system is rebooted.

Description: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya
Release: 18.2

cryptsetup version: 2:1.6.6-5ubuntu2
