thanks for the report, I've tried to reproduce that but it works fine here i don't get 9 dots with a 8 letters length password, could you get a gnome-screensaver log? please run it as: gnome-screensaver --no-daemon --debug > gnome-screensaver.log 2>&1 and attach that resulting log to the report?. you need to kill the gnome-screensaver first.
