Title:
Network manager displays multiple duplicate authorization dialogs
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
My computer was sitting idle but on for 2 days. The machine is set to
lock the screen after inactivity; the screen was locked for most of
this time. When I returned to the machine and unlocked the screen, I
had *82* (I counted...) identical "Authorization required...." dialogs
onscreen (see attached screenshot). Each dialog contained a request to
connect to a network that I had previously connected to. Each request
was for the same network - n-m was asking about the same network 82
times, not asking to connect to 82 different networks.
I have observed the same or similar behavior in in 11.10: When roaming
to a new network, network-manager finds a new network then asks for
permission to connect to it, even if you've already connected to that
network in the past. If you do not answer the prompt, network-manager
displays a new prompt after a minute or two. I believe this is a
result of scanning for networks while not associated - n-m seems to
put up a new dialog if (a) it's not associated and (b) it finds a
network to connect to. This happens regardless of whether a dialog is
already onscreen. network-manager should avoid throwing up an
authorization dialog if a dialog is already onscreen.
