if $PASSWORD$ variable contains '+' sign it stops typing
I use a macro to login to a flash management interface (they should be banned :)). My password contains a + sign. The macro stops typing the variable at the plus sign.
To troubleshoot this I let the macro type into the username field (so I could see what was typed). I tried with three different passwords:
12345ABCD+
12345+ABCD
+12345ABCD
What was typed into the username field was:
12345ABCD
12345
(nothing for the last password beginning with the + sign)
Seems to be a bug? Any idea what to do about this?

Hi,
We need to replace + with {Add} because the + is used to send the shift key

Could you try this?

Yes, that works. But it's not really a solution. Now my password no longer works if I copy-paste it or use it for a normal connection :(.
I think you shouldn't replace a + with the shift key when sending a variable (or replace + to {Add} within the variable before sending it if that's technically easier).
Great. This was just for a test.
I will make sure that the application takes care of replace when it's used a variable.

ok, thanks!
This is now fixed internally
