The problem is simply how the dialog UI manages fields "user", "cert", "key" to be sure that either all of them contain the same pkcs12 file path or none of them contain it. This is implemented with event handlers triggered when field selections change. Unfortunately this handlers are triggered in such a way that an endless loop occurs.
