Bug Description

Just installed a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

In Settings (gnome-control-center) -> Network -> VPN '+'-> WireGuard -> WireGuard -> Peers '+'.

When adding a peer for the Wireguard connection, if the popout or window loses focus (for example because we need do copy-paste from another window), the entire "peer" dialog closes and we lose the previous info.

It's not reasonable to setup a WireGuard connection manually because typing several long keys by hand is too error prone.
