Package: vinagre
Version: 2.30.1-1
Severity: normal

The password entry field is limited to 8 characters.  This is fine for
VNC, but doesn't work so well when entering your SSH password for a
tunnel.

>From data/vinagre.ui:
                  <object class="GtkEntry" id="password_entry">
                    <property name="visible">True</property>
                    <property name="can_focus">True</property>
                    <property name="events">GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK | GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK</property>
                    <property name="max_length">8</property>
