Gnome unlock screen authentication failed flicker

When i try to unlock the pc, randomly, the unlock is impossible.
It seems like there is something "canc" or "delete"  and "enter" keys blocked and if i try to write my psw, i write for 3 or 4 chars and then the psw is deleted and the message "Authentication failed" flickers for ever.
A simple workaround is to press alt + ctrl + f2 or f3 and change the console, then came back to the first console (hitting alt + ctrl + f1).
Gnome version: 3.18 (but i had this issue in 3.16 also)

I read the same bug in fedora bugzilla but no solution was provided.

Anyone else with same problem?
