Bug Description

This bug was present in 3.16, is present in 3.18 (what I am currently running), and is present in 3.19. And the bug is that often when I click "Back" (though you might have to try this a few times to get this to happen) I get this and have to click "Back" again to get rid of the password box and buttons which stay on top: GDM_Error_Login.png (the screenshot is of my Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 32-bit VM running GNOME 3.19)
