Currently in Ubuntu 14.10 (up to date packages) it seems that sometimes two shift key presses are required before entering login password, sometimes one shift key press, with no predictability. Hence for every login I have to guess and typically have to try entering the password two to four times before I get it right. As I regularly close and open the lid of my laptop this behaviour is spectacularly annoying. Please please please can you give this some priority.
