Bug ID: 449666
Summary: Selection of wifi network changes while user is
entering password
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.23.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: setp...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The wifi network list is regularly re-sorted based on some kind of metric
(presumably signal strength). When you are trying to connect to a new
password-protected wifi network, it keeps focus on the same entry order-wise,
but, since the order is now different, another network might be selected.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start entering a password for a wifi connection that is competing with
others for signal strength.
2. Wait for the order to change.
3. See that your (partially) filled password is now applied to an entirely
different network.
OBSERVED RESULT
A different network is selected than the one you started entering a password
for.
EXPECTED RESULT
The selected network does not change while entering a password.
