I did have a Linux VM at the time I wrote the patch and did test it there. It unfortunately ran out of disk space and got corrupted, and I haven't had time to setup a new one since.

Thanks!

There's only the port fields in the connection settings, where you can now type in invalid values as a result of bug 1437641, but the input will highlight red like it does in this screenshot if you do so. We were aware of this behaviour change in bug 1437641 comment 15, though I guess it wouldn't hurt to add extra validation on submit or something.
