Hey, I've discovered a weird issue in Debian Forky (default Gnome configuration). When typing in my password, some keystrokes are missed, specifically any repeat characters in the password. For example, "password" is entered as "pasword", and login fails. To properly enter my password, I need to wait 1-2 seconds between any repeat keystrokes for them to be registered correctly.

This is ONLY an issue at login, keyboard works fine everywhere else. I've tested with directly wired keyboard and issue still occurs.

I've searched and not found any suggestions how to troubleshoot this issue. Yes, I could change my password, but would love to figure this out and submit the fix upstream to help other users who may encounter the issue. Thanks!
