Should it also show some "*" or just hide what is being typed ?

Stefano, I added a B_UTF8_BULLET in InterfaceDefs.h (3 bytes) :) I tried to have the BTextView use it instead of real chars, but I didn't got it to work correctly. Multibyte seems to not help here, ie in _BTextGapBuffer_::GetString(int32 fromOffset, int32 numChars), I thought numChars were really characters and not bytes, but seeing the code I'm not sure.

Yeah, almost every function in BTextView handles bytes, not characters. The naming of the parameters is often misleading and should be definitely changed.
