Editbox with input flag set to password, not working in cocos creator

hi @slackmoehrle ,
I am using editbox with input flag set to password and the input mode set to single line. when I run it in the editor it works more or less ok but it omits the last character entered and registers only the characters till before the last one.
on my android device, it doesn’t register even a single character and I can’t even get rid of the placeholder text.
here is a sample project that has this problem :
editbox_password_test.zip (1.2 MB)
I haven’t tried it on iOS yet, and the version of cocos creator I am using is 2.1.2.
thanks!
