New Post: BUG: long Unicode passwords are broken!

$

When trying to make a new volume with a long Unicode password (45+ characters), Veracrypt treats the password as invalid, or not matching.

Try this please:
1) Press the button to create a new encrypted file container.
2) On the "Volume Password" screen, try pasting this password in:
ô7hÝá“3#3bža%Ñ‘¼¬<Þ%$T,‰Žžnv´!ÇZ^ÒƒÈþgH1ûßîjX
3) Notice that the "Next" button is grayed out on the bottom. This password doesn't work!
4) Now paste this password instead. It should work fine:
Dsw[#hZ.r8ikIbV1Yh]sk2iX&1{LF0k.<T]CyD.nXIb3f
This only happens when there are Unicode characters in a long password (45+ characters). Shorter passwords, even with Unicode characters, usually work fine.
The error is not consistent however. I think there is a bug in the "password verification" code.
