Description Luca Ferretti 2011-09-29 11:04:22 UTC 
As per summary, the U+25CF gliph is a square, not a circle :(

I suspect this is a choice to have the square as invisible char in GNOME password entries, but, if so, the proper solution is use U+25FE BLACK MEDIUM SMALL SQUARE as invisible char in Adwaita theme, see http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkEntry.html#GtkEntry--invisible-char-set

Explicit choice by the designer. It was circle initially. Leaving to Dave.
Comment 2 Adolfo Jayme 2011-10-09 05:06:49 UTC 
Using a square instead of a circle leads to inconsistent UI in places where Cantarell font is not used.
Comment 3 dave 2011-10-11 13:31:21 UTC 
Yeah I agree that it should be a circle, I recall that I changed it because someone else wanted it changed for GNOME usage. If the theme can be set to use a different char, thats great :)

fixed in git master
