Yes I noticed last week that it is possible for the input prompt text
and message text to overlap.

For 26.04 I wonder if it makes more sense to put input prompts above the
input box instead of below.

Title:
  Overlapping text when inserting wrong password for cryptsetup during
  boot

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I get asked for the password to unlock the rootfs and type in the
  wrong password, the visible text is overlapping and I'm unable to read
  it then. This is a usability issue.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1) boot (with a full disk encryption setup)
  2) type in the wrong password

  
  now the problem should be visible.

  See attached screenshots
