Bug Description

"Connect" and "Cancel" buttons are enabled while the rest of the dialog is disabled. The state is entered after a connection failure without feedback (invoking `sudo mount.cifs //192.168.178.130/data_extension /mnt/data_extension --verbose -o uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user=user` in a terminal gives feedback `I/O Error`). Pressing the "Connect" button again causes connection failure and a dialog ~"Oops! Something went went wrong" with content ~"Unknown error message no such file or directory".

see attached screenshot for details

Could you try if that's still an issue in newer versions?

Yes, this is still an error. All controls in the connection dialog remain disabled after the first connection attempt (like in the screenshot).

EDIT: Yes, this is still an issue with 3.26.4 on Ubuntu 18.10. All controls in the connection dialog remain disabled after the first connection attempt (like in the screenshot).
