Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[ubuntu-tester (ubuntu-tester1)]

This bug is similar to #1570738.
The crash only happen if the passphrase is stored in the gnome keyring (only for this user option).

This problem was fixed upstream : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765089
And for Yakketi : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1570738

Is-it possible to fix it for Xenial please ? Thanks.

For me, "nm-applet" crashes instead of asking (the good) password when connecting to a wireless network :
- if I enter and store a wrong password in the gnome keyring (only for this user option),
- or if a wrong password is already stored in the gnome keyring.

The workaround is to change the password in the properties of the connection (via nm-applet) or in the gnome keyring (via seahorse).

Xenial is receiving network-manager-applet 1.2.6, the SRU is being tracked in bug 1619354
