Long passwords overflow into the database name in saved connections

[Atl_Chris]

I've found that passwords over 11 characters in length will overflow into the saved connections history in pl/sql developer on oracle. The overflowed characters appear at the front of the database tns entry and the next time I attempt to login with that saved entry, the login fails because of the password characters that are now part of the database name. Has this issue been reported? If so, is there an estimated resolution date? If not, is there a work around that will save my lengthy password so that I can just select the login from the saved history.
Thank you,
Chris

This seems to work fine for me. Can you give an example of a complete username, password and database name that produces this error? Can you also let me know your PL/SQL Developer version?

I've done some additional research and have determined that the issue is not the password length but rather passwords containing @ symbols.
Thanks,
Chris

Okay, we'll check it out.

As a workaround you can place the password between double quotes. Note that this is case sensitive.

Excellent, I'll give it a try.
