Public bug reported:

os: Ubuntu 12.04

I use a wlan with hidden ssid and wpa encryption. For connecting to the
wlan I use the network indicator in the top right corner of the desktop.
Sometimes when I connect to the wlan, a prompt appear, asking me for the
passphrase. As I know the stored passphrase is correct, I abort the
dialog.

The problem is, whenever this happen, a new, blank configuration for the
wlan is created. It have the same name, as the correct one with a "1"
added.

I expect that if I click abort, nothing gets changed and no new configuration 
is created.
Also I wonder why a new configuration is created at all. When I enter a new 
passphrase I expect, that it is stored in the existing configuration.
