Title:
  Entering a ridiculously long login/password crashes lightdm

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  1. On the login screen, select an account
  2. In the password field enter a very very long string (I entered 0123456789 repeated 100 times which is 1000 chars long)

  Result:
  The password field freezes (the UI is still working, but the password field is greyed, and never back to normal state) and this crash occurs.
