Bug Description

Even Control + Alt + Del doesn't work, the Control is registered as a character of the password just like backspace. It seems that this can be triggered by pressing the Fx keys to get the text-based decryption screen and then going back to the GUI decryption screen. I tested here in a VM and if I press F1, the text-based screen ppears; if I press F2, the GUI appears, the F3, the text-based and so on). The only way to workaround this issue is force rebooting the computer using the physical button.

Version: 0.9.5-0ubuntu3
Kubuntu 21.04

The 'It seems that this can be triggered by pressing the Fx keys to get the text-based decryption screen and then going back to the GUI decryption screen' isn't clear, do you mean it doesn't impact the screen showed by default but only if you dismiss it and bring it back later?

Yes. Sometimes I press a Fx by accident.
