Comment 6 Christian Kirbach 2005-10-13 14:55:33 UTC 
Isn't this rather a nautilus error handling problem? seems to happen with ftp 
connections as well.

On the other hand, I cannot reproduce this with Gnome 2.12.1
After cancelling a connetion attempt is says "Could not connect...".

Can you check with a newer version, please?

Comment 8 Christian Kirbach 2005-10-13 14:59:24 UTC 
The same issue happens for the 
"The identity of the remote computer XXX is unknown."

warning message as well.
Comment 9 Martin Ejdestig 2005-10-13 15:57:20 UTC 
I can still reproduce this on Ubuntu Breezy (GNOME 2.12.1).
Comment 10 Martin Ejdestig 2005-10-13 16:03:06 UTC 
Though it looks like the symptoms have changed a bit from what's described in
comment 1. The authentication window appears 4 times when I try to cancel it.
When I press cancel the second time "Can't display location" pops up behind the
third authentication window. I don't see "invalid action assiociated".
Comment 11 Christian Kirbach 2005-10-13 18:00:18 UTC 
I don't see "invalid action assiociated" either.

I do get "Can't display location" when I cancel, but no more windows.
Comment 12 Martin Ejdestig 2005-10-13 18:55:41 UTC 
Just to clear things up. "Can't display location" should also be nuked when one
presses cancel?

I mean, it's pretty obvious that the location can't be displayed when cancel is
pressed in the authentication dialog. "Can't display location" doesn't provide
the user with any useful information in this case so it's just "another annoying
dialog one has to close for no good reason before one can get on with whatever
one really is doing". ;)

Maybe a new bug should be opened for this since that dialog seems to come from
Nautilus... right? Is there a way to for nautilus to differentiate between when
cancel is pressed in the authentication dialog and other errors?
Comment 13 Christian Kirbach 2005-10-13 21:12:39 UTC 
Martin, I agree. Hitting "Cancel" inherits ".. and leave me alone." :)
Comment 14 Christian Neumair 2006-02-23 15:33:16 UTC 
This was finally fixed some time ago :). The latest stable releases should have it, ditto for the GNOME 2.13.
