OK, I have experimented further.

If I use a 15-character password to save the file it works.

If I use a 16-character password to save the file it also works, insofar as it
allows saving.

But when I try to open the 16-character password file with the 16-character
password it fails.

HOWEVER, if I only insert the first 15 characters of the password then the file
opens correctly.

So there is a bug in the password parsing: If you offer more than 15 characters
it apparently wraps around, corrupting the offered password, rather than just
dropping all characters after the fifteenth.

Interesting stuff, thanks.

Keep me informed.

The workaround for now is to limit passwords to 15 characters.

Cheers, Andy Lavarre
