NB6.7 was released already - http://www.netbeans.org/community/releases/67/ Postpone fixing this issue on the next release.
Fix committed as: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/986246adf75c the password field is excluded from this and the port field is handled specialy - the first number in the port field is extracted and used as port. I'd appreciate testers, if you want to help, please wait till a nightly build is created, that contains this fix (an entry is added to this bug by then), run it and check if the trimming and handling of values in the "new connection dialog" is sane (ports are numeric, string values are trimmed). If so, please change the bug status to "VERIFIED".
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201506260309* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/986246adf75c User: Matthias Blaesing <matthias42@netbeans.org> Log: #148533: Trim values of most input fields in NewConnectionDialog and sanitize port
