Moving back to assigned because PR from comment 3 won't be used.

Comment 13 Jan Stodola 2022-01-07 12:37:58 UTC
The bug is fixed.
It's no longer possible to begin a graphical installation without entering the root password if the user spoke is hidden by an anaconda config file.
It's now also possible to enter the root password spoke in text mode if the user spoke is hidden (the root spoke was not even visible before).

No regressions have been discovered during testing with/without the user spoke hidden and running interactive and kickstart installations.

Tested with anaconda-33.16.6.5-1.el8.
