Bug Description

After block the screen with (Ctrl+Alt+L) it shows the login interface, my keyboard sometime start to send a keypress event with the value 5, like the user was typing infinite times the number 5, after a while the login interface freeze, and it is necessary to kill the X or restart the computer.

I think that the password box crash with a big number of characters and freeze the login interface.
