Public bug reported:
Visiting inlaws for the holidays.
The wifi password is a long numeric string, which takes a long time to
type.
I typed it several times and failed to connect. I verified it and tried
again and again. Finally typed it into text file, copied and pasted, it
connected.
I suspect the connection was timing out or something while I typed the
stupid long numeric password.
What I expected to happen:
type password, click connect, get connection, or some useful error. user
happy.
What actually happened:
type password, click connect, dialog disappears and nothing else
happens. user confused and unhappy.
It shouldn't silently fail because I'm taking a long time to type.
thanks, love you! <3
