Can't get through "User Configuration" on new PinePhone

The user config screen only takes my full name. Every time I enter a new username and try to go to the password field nothing gets registered. The username and password fields stay blank.

Small correction here cause I couldn't find a way to edit my original post. My phone is a regular Pinephone 3GB RAM edition and not the Pro.

Anyway, when trying tog et past the User Configuration screen with an external keyboard and mouse there will be a fourth blank field below the Password field that cannot be seen because the screen cannot be scrolled down. It is a confirmation of the Password/PIN so just press tab on your external keyboard and enter the same PIN you did in the Password field above. The arrow in the middle of the screen will turn blue and when you press it you will have completed your configuration. At this point you can unlock the screen and use the phone.

The model I got has a flickering screen and is hardly usable. I tested Manjaro ARM Beta 11 from an SD card and it is much more stable so going to install it directly on the phone cause the SD card is kinda sluggish.
