[Bug 912702] [NEW] the window "Wireless Network Authentication Required" keeps popping up until "the end of times" even though the previous one was not closed

 

Public bug reported:

I left the computer turned on for the night and in the morning I found
not less than 65, yes 65!!!!!! instances of the same window. my system
was responding very slowly. and closing one took more than a minute, so
I had to kill it manually. take a look on my screenshots, they look
really weird.

this is very annoying!!!!

solution: this window shouldn't pop up when the previous one was not
closed!
