Bug#757732: gdm3: Have to type password twice when logging in from lock screen

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.12.2-2
Severity: normal

Since using Jessie, every time I unlock my screen it hangs after typing in my
password. I then have to click cancel, or hit Esc and retype it in which it
when then let me in. I upgraded to unstable thinking it might fix a few things,
knowingly it might break others but got lucky and a few other problems were
fixed.

I haven't tried the experimental package, as the changelog says only Wayland
support was added. Also, I should mention I started with Wheezy and ended up on
Sid so there may be some issues there. Let me know if I can provide any other
information, or if I should just try a fresh install.

Thanks
