Public bug reported: The change password dialog can hang in certain situations.
To reproduce: 1) Launch system settings 2) Open the "User accounts" control panel 3) Click the password 'dots' to open the "Changing password" dialog 4) Enter the current password, and enter a password that the system thinks is weak, like 'ubuntu' 5) Press the 'change' button'. A dialog should appear that says, "The new password is too simple. Please choose another password.". Close the dialog. 6) In the change password dialog, re-enter the weak password from step 4 7) Press the change button Expected results: Either the system accepts the new password, or the "The new password is too simple" dialog from step 5 appears. Actual results: The "Changing password" dialog is greyed out and the cursor changes to the spinning "please wait" cursor. The password is not changed. This is 100% reproducible for me.
