Bug ID: 454523
Summary: Password input loses focus too easy
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.24.90
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
The password input for wireless networks loses focus too easy if mouse is moved
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on the wireless icon in systray (near the clock / date)
2. Click on the "Connect" button for a network
3. Move the mouse in pretty much any direction you want before typing the
password or after you typed a few characters
4. Try to type the password now or the remaining part of it
5. In case it doesn't work, try to hover back the the network and its password
input field
OBSERVED RESULT
After clicking on the "Connect" button for a network as soon as the mouse
leaves the rectangle with the selection of network and its password input the
password input field loses focus and you cannot enter the password or continue
to enter it anymore if you already typed some of it.
Moving back over that big rectangle or even over the password input doesn't
make it regain focus.
The only thing that does is clicking directly into that password input field.
One case where you can move the mouse after clicking the "Connect" button and
not have the password input field lose focus is if the network you want to
connect is the first one in the list and you move the mouse upwards.
Another case is if you don't move the mouse after clicking that button, but you
scroll down so the network and its password input moves up, but the focus is
not lost
EXPECTED RESULT
The password input field keeps its focus for as long as possible no matter in
which direction I move the mouse after I click the "Connect" button, as long as
I don't click the "connect" button for other network for which its password
input field should have focus
In the worst case moving back the the rectangle containing the network name and
its password input field should focus automatically the password input field to
be able to type the password.
I'm using many times my laptop in bed with a mouse so after I click the Connect
button I leave my mouse to put both hands on the keyboard to type the password.
Being in bed, means that the mouse sometimes moves alone by itself as soon as I
let it go which I think it's one of the reasons that I'm seeing this
I guess the mouse was also moving in other cases, but as Windows 7 and other
Linux DEs use a pop-up window that is always focused no matter where and how
much the mouse moves, I never saw this problems somewhere else.
I'm not saying I want a pop-up window to type the password as I like the
current design more, but the focus should try harder to stay on password input
field the last network where I clicked the "Connect" button.

BTW, for this bug I really didn't know which is the right product where to
report it as for others I use the system monitor to see the name of the process
that I opened. Please move it to the right place if you can or let me know to
recreate it in another place so this can be deleted.
