The window disappears before login information can be input on some wifi networks

[danirabbit]

Been having a problem with one network where the captive portal manager will open a login window and on the redirect will suddenly close. It might be a peculiarity on this wifi network as it does not occur on others.

I did not have the same problem on freya and has only occurred since I upgraded to loki.

I have the same bug here. But it actually happens after some reconnects. The first three times I connected to the specific access point, the captive portal was shown.
There is no way to reset it, I have to go to the captive portal IP adress manually

Can you please explain step by step what is happening?

Could it be that the load is failing and it's triggering this line?http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementary-apps/capnet-assist/trunk/view/head:/src/CaptiveLogin.vala#L235

Alternatively, if you know how to build and install (the instructions are in the HACKING and INSTALL files in the source distribution) this [1] branch, it might fix your issue. I will try and get it merged sometime in the next month or so, as I have quite a few things queued up for my little time :(
