Browse: Saved password cannot be overridden

[DeepakMuddha]

Seen on an XO-1.75 with OE OS 1.2 with Browse 129.3. First step is to test with GTK+ 3 Browse on an XO-4. If there is still a bug, we'll assign to a developer.
Steps to reproduce:

1.connect the XO to a network that has an authenticated WPAD proxy
2.in the Proxy applet in the CP, set the automatic proxy URL
3.launch Browse and try and visit a Web site
4.the proxy password prompt will appear
5.type an incorrect username
6.tick the box to save the credentials, and click OK
7.the authentication will fail, and the authentication box will return
8.enter the correct details and click OK
9.your Web site will appear
10.close Browse and open it again

What should happen: the correct credentials should have been remembered and automatically used to access the Web. The second (correct) entry of credentials should have overridden the first (incorrect) entry in the passwords manager.

What actually happened: the prompt shows again, with the first (incorrect) credentials inserted.

I tried to reproduce this but I couldn't. Maybe the issue is in the proxy server?

I used Browse to authenticate with gmail and with bugs.sugarlabs.org. In both I did:

• start Browse
• navigate to the authentication page
• type a correct user name and a wrong password -> authentication fails
• type a correct password -> authentication succeeds
• stop Browse
• restart Browse

In the case of gmail, I ticket the checkbox "remember me". After restart, I am already logged in. In the case of bugs.sl.org, there is no "remember me" checkbox; after restart I'm not logged in, as expected.

Deepak,
can you re test?

Tested using browse 155 in build 18

I can't reproduce this issue by following the steps mentioned in comment-1.
