SUMMARY

When connecting to a new WIFI network through NM Applet, the password text field loses focus if mouse is moved over any other network in the list. This is a minor, but annoying bug. When connecting to a network I have to let go of my mouse very carefully to type the password in. My motor skills are slightly impaired, and this is difficult to me.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click Networks Panel Applet
2. Click "Connect" on any network
3. Click the text field to focus it
4. Move the pointer up or down until it leaves bounds of selected network's frame

OBSERVED RESULT
On pointer return to the selected network's frame or it entering another network's frame, the password text field of selected network looses focus, and it is no longer possible to type in it.

EXPECTED RESULT
The password text field maintains focus until a click somewhere else is performed.
