Hello,

Discovered this by accident, but in SSHeven 0.8.0 prerelease, when I am connecting to a machine and enter a password that has a period (".") symbol in it, the period is shown instead of the typical bullet/circle symbol.

I'm running 9.2.2 on a G3, VM is off. I haven't had a chance to test this on my 7.6.1/601 machine or elsewhere yet.

Here is a screenshot with an example password that has a period in the 5th position:

Please let me know if you need anything else on this, and, thank you for your work on this project!

thanks for the report, that's weird. Does the server still accept the password?

My apologies for the delay. My password didn't originally have a period in it, but I just swapped to a new password that does and it doesn't authenticate, saying the server rejected the username/password.

EDIT: To clarify, still with the 0.8.0 pre-release build i was using earlier today.

just did a quick fix, there was a somewhat obvious error in the code

should be ok in the next release, I may do a 0.8.1 bugfix release soon (extremely busy with life, 0.9.0 will be a while)
