1. N/A
2. N/A
3. N/A

What is the expected result?
Normal behavior while the cursor is blinking as it waiting for the password entry. (2012 Retina Macbook Pro 15 @ non-Retina screen resolution of 1920x1200). Operating system was installed a day ago.

What happens instead?
Graphical screen components are scrambled every time the cursor blinks. This returns to normal in the intervals where the cursor is not displayed. The issue disappeared as I widened the /browser window.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Looks to be a partial swap issue -- this was mostly resolved with  issue 543324 . We will be removing partial swap entirely in a near release (because we have better ways of getting its power savings).
Locally this can be worked around by disabling hardware acceleration.
