[Bug 2111126] [NEW] TTY1 login prompt becomes unresponsive after arrow key and backspace input
Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS, using the arrow key and backspace at the
`tty1` login prompt breaks the prompt, preventing login.
## Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot into Ubuntu Server (no GUI).
2. Wait for the `tty1` login prompt.
3. Press an arrow key (← or →).
4. Press backspace to delete part of the line.
5. Attempt to type a username and press Enter.
## Result:
- The login prompt no longer accepts input or proceeds.
- You cannot log in until the system is restarted.
## Expected behavior:
- Arrow key and backspace input should be handled cleanly.
- Login should still be possible.
## Notes:
- This bug occurs on the text-based terminal (`tty1`) launched by `getty@tty1.service`, managed by systemd.
- Kernel version: 6.8.0-60-generic
- Affected version: Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS
** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
