Comment 3 David Vancouvering 2008-08-13 23:47:50 UTC 
Can anyone give me instructions on how to reliably reproduce this?  What's happening apparently is that certain
passwords specified in the MySQL properties dialog, when saved, can not be retrieved because you get the error "String
length must be a multiple of four."

It's as if the Base64 hashing works one way but breaks the other way.  

I can't make this happen, but lots of you obviously can.  If anyone can tell me how to make this happen, I would be most
appreciative.
Comment 4 David Vancouvering 2008-08-14 00:05:28 UTC 
I just checked, and we don't even use Base64 encoding right now for the MySQL password.  Please re-open if you can
reproduce in the nightly or NB 6.5 beta builds.
