*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***
Public security bug reported:
this is tricky to duplicate, but on occasion when adding a wireless
connection and placing a checkmark in "Available to all users" and
hitting Apply, the authentication dialog box for privilege escalation
pops up for the user's password, but sometimes does not focus the cursor
in the dialog.
What happens:
sometimes I type my password it goes nowhere specific (which is a bit of a
security concern since I am not aware of where it goes. If I had a chat
session open might it choose to focus the cursor in that app?)
What I expect to happen:
I expect my password to go in the box that just popped up. There seems no
reason to prompt for password authentication and not force an immediate
response via a modal switch.
