Is the debian and appimage versions unable to handle a plus sign (+) in the password?

[dln949]

I installed both the debian and appimage versions of converse on Ubuntu 22.04. Neither will allow me to connect to my xmpp account. The password contains the plus sign (+) within it. Based on the similar problem I read about here, conversejs/converse.js#3299, is that the problem here as well?

From other clients, and from the converse fullpage web site, I am able to connect just fine with that same password.

The desktop application has not yet been updated to include that bug fix. You can build your own updated version that includes the bug fix if you want it now. I will try and get an updated release put together in the next few weeks.

I'm working on the next Converse release, I can't promise when it'll be release, but I'm hoping soon. Conservatively I'd say within the next month. Might be worth it to wait until that release and then to update Converse Desktop as well.
