Bug Description
If I press the Caps Lock key while entering a password, a warning appears to the right of the password field. This warning appears above the little arrow that I can click to log in, making it impossible to log in without pressing Enter.
Turning off caps lock hides the warning, but the behaviour appears somewhat erratic: sometimes the login button appears, sometimes not. Hovering over the right side of the password field continues to reveal a tooltip saying that caps lock is turned on, and clicking does nothing.

The behavior is very erratic, the caps lock warning comes and goes as does the login ">". Attached below is a video of my desktop. You can see that with no characters typed, turning capslock on makes a little warning appear for an instant and then disappear. Once you type any letters, you get the > but the tool tip says Caps Lock is on and it is not clickable (I'm trying to click it in the video). Seems like a GUI overlap issue.
This happens on 12.10.0-0ubuntu1 in 12.10 for me.
