Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

*** Description of problem:

- The "details" theme of Plymouth shows duplicated asterisks when the user is entering the LUKS password (that is, two "*" characters per password character). 

- In addition, boot log messages are shown twice.

- Furthermore, both in the "details" theme and in the default "charge" theme, a partially entered password cannot be completely deleted with Ctrl+U: a number of placeholder characters remain. (It is not deterministic how many remain -- the longer the password is when Ctrl+U is pressed, the higher the chance for some placeholder characters to remain.)

*** Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

plymouth-0.8.9-0.31.20140113.el7.x86_64 (= both RHEL-7.5 and RHEL-7.6)

*** Additional info:

This issue may have been fixed in upstream Plymouth and Fedora's Plymouth:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/369454/boot-time-service-startup-messages-are-repeated-a-second-time
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104353
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1554148

So this actually ended up needing this fix:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/commit/059390ac569798cbf40a958ea714b15f313b46a3

(the other one was already in place and dealt with graphical display, not text display)

"plymouth-0.8.9-0.32.20140113.el7" works fine for me, thank you.
