Re: Cancelling entering the password for VM keeps it open
Yes, it's "opened" , paused and expects you will try to enter password again.
Password will be acquired again if you will unpause (resume) VM.

That's not exactly intuitive.Dsen wrote:Yes, it's "opened" , paused and expects you will try to enter password again.

If a person has forgotten their VM password I guess leaving the VM in a paused state is just ... useless. Besides it's not obvious that the VM is running. When you pause an actual VM you can easily see that it's paused since it has some visuals. A gray underscore isn't exactly readable
Anyways it's [for] you to decide but logically if I press "Cancel" the VM should be shut down completely.

Yes, we decided to make the GUI to propose the Close VM dialog in such case. Implemented.birdie wrote:That's not exactly intuitive.Dsen wrote:Yes, it's "opened" , paused and expects you will try to enter password again.
