Hi, I'm having an issue when typing in a password of a wireless network:

1) I've chosen a network, it asks for a password
2) I fill in the password
3) Networks change their order in the list as their signal strength slightly change (I guess that's the reason). The input box does not move during this action so I'm suddenly filling in a password of a completely different network.
5) If I press enter, I'm connecting to the new (bad) network
4) If I click on the Connect button on the original network, a new (blank) password field appears.

This prevents me to fill in the password and connect since the network order changes about every second (there's quite a lot of networks around). Workaround: use network name filter
