What's Wrong?

When I edit session name it shows '...' but not newly typed or pasted letters.

They are there as the cursor jumps to the end of the line and I am able to type some more invisible letters.
Also it is possible to search by this invisible letters

Newly typed letter are visible with the same font colour as the rest of the name of the session.
