Public bug reported: I clicked on the WiFi connection applet, selected an access point, entered in a password that contained a comma, clicked Connect, then nothing happened. There was no error or attempt to connect. When trying to connect again, the previous password with a comma was not saved. However, incorrect password attempts that don't contain a comma are saved. The applet is nm-applet.
When using nm-connection-editor, I can save the password that contains a comma. The next time I try to connect with the applet, the connection succeeds without prompting for a password. The problem is that I can't use the applet to enter in the password with a comma. I must use the connection editor. This was on Lubuntu. The WiFi access point was 2.4 GHz and used a WPA ASCII password that contains a comma.
