Description William Jon McCann 2012-10-01 19:14:40 UTC 
I was testing a new build of the 3.6 live cd and noticed that the screen can lock with a modal dialog showing.

 * Click on a wifi access point that requires a password
 * Don't enter password and walk away
 * Come back after some time and notice that modal is still showing but the screen is locked.

What should we do instead? Cancel any modal dialogs automatically for the user?

Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2012-10-01 19:35:09 UTC 
Maybe the screen lock/shield should always be on top? At least by default.

I suppose cancelling modals might be ok. It would certainly be ok for this particular one.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2012-10-12 01:24:52 UTC 
Any idea for a fix here ?

NetworkAgent: cancel requests when disabling component

When the NetworkAgent is disabled (for example because the lock screen
is being activated), cancel all modal dialogs.
