Dear Maintainer,

the new artwork is exceptionally pretty. Thanks.

When a cryptsetup initramfs script asks for a passphrase, it does so
without a "caption" (or whatever the name of this field is). This has
always been this way. On older themes, this has led to an empty entry
field being displayed, while the current theme shows a placeholder
'#NULL' (see attachment).

Is this intended behavior?

Greetings
Marc

Hello Marc,

If the problem occurs only with the new theme, I would say that the bug
should be reassign to the package shipping it (desktop-base)

But I'm a bit surprised that you have no caption there, here I
definitely have one when unlocking my LVM

I used the ancient solar theme before I was force-changed to the new
artwork, and the "#NULL" was never seen before. I wasn't aware that the
theme is from a different package.

That might be an issue with my script, I morphed it away from the stock
scripts when even the stock scripts didn't show a caption. Possibly this
issue was fixed years ago, but a captionless prompt should be handled ok
by the new theme as well.

Greetings
Marc
