Quick Connection - Credentials: Custom changes to None when docked/hidden
#1
Try this:

1) Dock Quick Connect in the left side with auto-hide (so it can slide out when needed)
2) Click Quick Connect on the toolbar, so it slides out
3) Type a computer-name and in Credentials select Custom
4) Click [...] and type username and password and click OK - in the mean time Quick Connect is hidden again
5) Click Quick Connect again to show it
6) Credentials is now set to None

Seems Custom will (almost?) always revert to None for some reason when Quick Connect is docked, hidden and shown - but even though it displays as None, it seems to still remember the Custom credential anyway (at least sometimes).

We also sometimes experience that even though you select a different credential, it uses the last one you used instead, regardlessly. So I think there is an issue about display and function not being in sync, and also something about a variable not being set / maintained correctly.

Why not add the username/password fields from the Custom dialog directly to Quick Connect itself?
That way it is also always visible if something is supplied in Custom.

You could add a checkbox to use it or not - and dismiss the Custom popup dialog.
