Yeah.

If you look closely, the bullets were never vertically centered before, but now it's more noticeable as a side effect of fixing the bug that made the password field jump in height when you started typing.

This is on;y a problem on Neon because Neon uses a fontconfig file that falls back to the Noto Symbols font to get the bullet chatacter, which happens to be taller than Noto Sans. The solution here is to use a different character for the bullet.
