1.) ASSERT: make sure you have at least 1 valid account in OpenShift Explorer that's using a non-default server (ex. stg.openshift.redhat.com) 2.) EXEC: Select your account in OpenShift Explorer and hit Connect to OpenShift 3.) ASSERT: upcoming dialog has Connection combo set to your account 4.) EXEC: switch the combo to <New Connection> Result: The username and server are both resetted to the default values from the preferences (and openshift configurations). Even though the server is set to the default server, the default server checkbox is not checked. The password is erroneous: if you simply hit finish you'll have the connection dialog telling you that the credentials are wrong. If you correct the password the connection will succeed. Expected result: Use default checkbox should get checked, the password should get filled in correctly or resetted. Another interesting alternative would be to use the settings from the user that was previously selected and just clear the password. This would allow users to easily reuse users on different servers.
