** Description changed:

  OpenLP 1.9.7 on Win7 Pro x64
  
  -- as reported by jstruebel on forums:
  It appears that OpenLP can't handle non-alphanumeric characters in the mysql password. I had generated a random password that included some symbols originally and even still if I try to use that password OpenLP fails to connect to the database. The second password that I tried today and which worked, was a random password using only alphanumeric characters.
  The debug logs for both an unsuccessful attempt and the successful connection are at the following links.
- crashed with traceback: http://pastebin.com/nWFLSNT2
- successful: http://pastebin.com/zCCgs2aW
+ * crashed with traceback: http://pastebin.com/nWFLSNT2
+ * successful: http://pastebin.com/zCCgs2aW
  
  I have run into this issue with other software where passwords must not
  contain symbols. Since it works with a strictly alphanumeric password it
  isn't a showstopper, but the documentation should indicate that the
  password cannot contain symbols.
