pinentry-mac does not unhide pass phrase properly

When you are typing your pass phrase into pinentry-mac, by default the characters are hidden, as shown in the first screenshot. However, if you then check the "Show typing" box, only the first character of the pass phrase is unhidden, as shown in the second screenshot. In the previous version of GPGTools, this worked just fine, so this is a regression.

Another minor nit is that the "Save in Keychain" text label appears to be slightly cut off. This may be due to the new default system font in Yosemite.

   Hi Dimitry

   the minor issue with the "save in keychain" text label has been already fixed (available if you are using the nightly build)

   The "typing issue" is a known bug and the team is already working on this

   Thanks

   Hi Wingman,

   Yes, it works fine now with beta 4. Checking and unchecking the "Show typing" box shows and hides the text correctly, without mangling it.

   Thanks for the fix.
