Hi...  I am using PasswordMaskEF.cc which works great except for one exception.  

When you input into the entryfield the mask solid dots show which is great.  But if you type for instance a / or ' not defined in the special characters case you see an unusual character in the entryfield instead of a dot.  This surprised me because I thought characters that aren't defined would just be ignored so the user can't type them in.

I was also surprised when I tried to decode the password and the password was recognized with or without the undefined character.

Is this a bug, or something you have to work around?  I am pretty sure my duflp copy is original.

Please let me know if someone else ran into this and if it is fixable.   But now that I think about it, it may not be a problem since it works with or without the illegal character.  It just causes confusion at least to me.   Thanks
