Bug Description

Since I installed ubuntu 18.04 (a fresh install), I have issue when connecting to a ssh server the first time.

I am asked my ssh password key by gnome-keyring (full screen dialog) and I need to type it 3 or 4 or 5 times (more or less, it seems random) my password before it works.

Meaning the dialog keep poping up asking my password while I am pretty I have not mistyped it.

It works the first time without problem when I use ssh-add in the terminal.

I can repeat this by doing

ssh-add -D
and then try to ssh again and it asks for my ssh key password and I have to type it a certain number of times before it is accepted.

Tested in archlinux gnome 3.28 and this works without problem.

This seems to work better lately, i.e. only one "password typing" is needed now.

Has this been fixed silently ?
Has an update fixed the problem ?
