Bug Description

When you close the screen or exit, and if the system is set to the language you write from right to left (in my case Arabic language).
When the login screen appears for the user:
The language-writing cursor is in the right position with the English language remaining, and the password can not be entered correctly.
Which requires restarting the device so that it can be re-accessed.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
