Hi folks

as already said my kexi freezes when I click the "Test Connection" in the "Add New Database Connection"-dialog or "Edit Database Connection"-dialog button the second time.
alright, i can reproduce this bug in different ways, here they are:

1. start kexi
2. invoke the "Add New / Edit Database Connection"-dialog by doing one of the 2.x steps below
2a. choose "Blank Database" in the "Choose Project"-dialog at the start of
kexi, click "Ok" then choose "New Project Stored on Database Server", click "Next" and then click "Add" or choose a connection from the list and click "Edit".
2b. choose "Import Exisitng Databse" in the "Choose Project"-dialog at the start of
kexi, click "Ok" then click Next and than, click "Projects stored on a server" and click "Add" or choose a connection from the list and click "Edit".
2c.choose "Import Exisitng Databse" in the "Choose Project"-dialog at the start of
kexi, click "Ok" then click "Next", click "Projects stored in a file", choose a file, click "Next", choose either "MySQL" or "PostgreSQL" as Destination databse type, click "Next" twice and finally click "Add" or choose a connection from the list and click "Edit".

Now you get the "Add New Database Connection"-dialog or "Edit Database Connection"-dialog.

-> Choose either "MySQL" or "PostgreSQL"
-> enter a host or choose localhost
-> enter a port number or choose standard port
-> enter a username or don't do it, it doesn't matter
-> enter a password or let it remain empty, it doesn't matter either
-> tick "Save password in the shortcut file" or untick it, no matter
-> enter, title (as the label sais, it's optional)
-> in the Details-tab tick or untick the use socket file instead of TCP/IP port
-> choose a socket or tick default
-> go back to the Parameters-Tab and cilck"Test Connection"......
a message box may pop up saying "Could not connect to xyz database server" (I haven't managed to connect to a server yet....). Confirm by clicking "Ok"
->Change the settings in the parameters-tab and or details-tab or keep them unchanged.
->cilck"Test Connection" again.....
Again a box pops up telling you whatever, confirm wit "Ok" and kexi freezes.


By the way is such a bug considered as a crash or as a "normal" bug?

It may be that this is a duplicate of Bug 124959, however in that bug the freeze only occurs when the username and password are the same.
