Title:
  Password can be entered in any layout when unlocking the screen

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After screen lock (Ctrl+Alt+L) when trying to unlock the screen I see the 'password' field and layout name to the right of it (in my case it is ru or en). I can switch between layouts but it doesn't matter which layout I use for password as the system accepts it anyway.
   For example, I can type my password without switching layout and it will be accepted in any case not depending on current layout. But if I type the part of my password and then switch layout the system discards it.
  1. Why there's layout indicator if it doesn't matter which type of layout I use?
  2. How can I set the password in different layout?

  I think there should be clear influence of the current layout because
  a user can set the password using different layout. Another solution
  is to remove layout indicator and not to allow switching of keyboard
  layout.
