Description corey 2022-03-22 14:03:43 UTC

SUMMARY
When connecting to a wireless network, and typing the password, if other wireless networks load into the list your password field will move to another wireless network that is not the one you originally selected. This leads to you typing your wireless password in the incorrectly selected network.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open network manager applet
2. Select password protected wireless network
3. Attempt to type password and if other networks load it will change the selected network to some other network. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Network selection switches before you can type in password when other networks load into the list.

EXPECTED RESULT
The selected network should not change.

Also should note this happens on Wayland. Not sure about X11.

Ah, we fixed this a few years ago. Sorry nobody looked at the bug report until now! We're still digging out of a pile of bug reports, so hopefully this will get better in the future.
