Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2012-05-02 21:30:28 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Attempt to change the date/time settings via gnome-control-center
2. When prompted for the password, enter something invalid and press Return

Results: Error text appears ("Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again."). Then the dialog closes.

I thought it happened all the time. Isn't it the expected behavior? (I agree it's very bad from an usability POV.)
Comment 2 Allan Day 2012-08-08 16:52:15 UTC 
The dialog should stick around so you can try to enter the password again.
