--- Comment #3 from Dmytro Kostiuchenko <e...@archlinux.us> ---
I wanted to elaborate on this, which hopefully will make the issue more
critical.

The list of networks will update even after a user started typing the password.

This is a mild *security risk*, as the password, this way, can be revealed to a
malicious party.

Steps to reproduce:

- open the applet, click on a network X, start typing the password
- force the list order update
  - either by introducing a new network with a stronger signal; or
  - by reducing the signal of the network X

Actual result
- the password input form stays on the same index in the list as before the
update, although a new network is placed at that index now.
Confirming the password will attempt a connection to the incorrect network

Expected result
- the password input form is bound to the network name rather than index in the
list
