Description
Bug description
In the database connection dialog, if a space is NOT put after the "Other Params", the "Test" connection fails with failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied
How to reproduce
See screen shot below. If "Other Params" is set, then it needs a trailing space for a successful connection.
Expected behavior
The "Test" connection successfully connects to the database server regardless of the "Other Params" value having a trailing space or not.
Screenshots

Connection dialog with "Other params" set to "application_name=OMS.bluegum ". Note the trailing space.

Additional info
I believe the problem is in libs/libconnector/src/connection.cpp, line 158. When building up the connection string of key value pairs, a space is added after the value using the param_str formatter defined on line 134. "Other Params" are appended directly to the connection string in line 158 without appending a space after.
This results in an invalid connection string which looks like to the server that a password was not supplied. Adding a trailing space to "Other Params" works round this issue.
Replacing lines 157 & 158 with:
else {
connection_str += value;
connection_str += " ";
}
fixed the problem for me
