This particular contribution cannot be accepted, the reason it cannot be accepted because it wasn't tested on the latest version of the application. The latest version of SteemPlus is 2.10.3.1.

Here are some details about the actual problem.

The actual problem is that any characters following # aren't passed into the memo, this seems to be a problem unique to steemplus as I couldn't replicate this on busy therefore I believe the repository is correct. The following example should explain this further:

If you enter "Hello World" this text will be sent to the memo successfully.
If you enter "# Hello World" nothing will be sent to the memo.
If you enter "Hello World # My First Project" only Hello world would be sent to the memo.

In Steemit the "#" symbol is reserved for private memos if you create a direct transfer on Steemit.com it will show as encoded to all users accept the receiver. Steem connect which SteemPlus uses doesn't currently support this and this would not work. The bug therefore which I believe needs to be resolved is the characters not being sent after #

I have looked through the steemplus code and don't believe any special conditon has been placed on # but I may have missed this.

It would be best if @stoodkev could comment on this issue and my comments to provide more clarity.
