Strange glitch when entering encryption password on start-up

I setup a Fedora 18 VM tonight to test out the installer. Everything was fine and it is running great except for one small thing:

When I go to enter my password on boot up to access my encrypted partition, it does a return after each keystroke kinda like this..

Please enter passcode for disk VBOX-HARDDISK (luks...)!:*
Please enter passcode for disk VBOX-HARDDISK (luks...)!:**
Please enter passcode for disk VBOX-HARDDISK (luks...)!:***

And so on.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Could it just be something that happens in VBOX but would be fine on a normal install? I want to install F18 but I am wary until I am sure it will go off smoothly.

Are you still able to enter the password correctly?

Re: Strange glitch when entering encryption password on start-up

I have F18 installed for over a month on this machine, using boot as part1 and luks as part2 with a lvm inside, which contains root, home and swap.
I dont recall to have had such an issue yet on my live machine.

Yeah it enters in fine. Just a bit strange that's all.

My setup is the same so perhaps it's just a VM glitch
