Access denied errors in latest snapshots

I have a stored connection for a remote 4.1.22 server. I've been logging in without any issue with HeidiSQL 4.0 (and it still works fine) but when I try to log in latest snapshot (5.0.0.3135) I get an access denied error:

SQL Error (1045): Access defined for user 'my_user'@'my_public_ip' (using password: YES)

Password should be okay (after all, both versions read settings from the same registry key) and, curiously, I can log with my other user in the same server with either versions. Anyway, I've tried to re-enter the password but it didn't help.

Any idea?

Having some critical character in your password or username?

Good point: it's random password that starts with

·b_yb:

So, it's a bug or something?

I'm unsure. Could be some Unicode related issue, but who knows. Please try setting a different password.
