Transdroid cannot authenticate a 13-letter password

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I installed Transmission 2.30 on an Ubuntu Server 11.04.  The transmission 
daemon has been configured with a 13-letter password, and I have verified that 
I can access the webui using this password/login, from another computer both 
within the network, and over the internet.

However, when using Transdroid to access the Transmission daemon, it would not 
authenticate.  It seems that Transdroid drops at least 1 (or more) letters of 
my password, and authentication fails.

Does it work if you (temporarily) use a shorter password? Because there are no 
length restrictions on the password being made by Transdroid. What version of 
Transdroid do you use? There was an issue with the latest Transmission and 
Transdroid < 1.0.3.

Yes, it does work with a shorter password.  I'm using Transdroid 1.0.4 - 
another possible cause could be Swype (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tablet) could 
be addingan extra space somewhere as well.

However, since there is no option to reveal password, I can't check if/how the 
password is being incorrectly entered by Swype (or perhaps sent by Transdroid).

Have you tried putting typing the password in some email or clear text app and 
then copy and paste the password?

Just checked with a password 'qwertyuiop!@#$%^&*()' and it works just fine. 
Probably Skype or some other soft keyboard erroneously adding leading or 
trailing spaces. Note that a soft keyboard should never do that in password 
field and potentially one might actually use a space so I cannot really trim() 
the input.
