PR for a fix upstream is now attached. It seems that we were not handling the case where there is a valid connection to the proxy but invalid credentials are provided. The PR fixes this issue. Note: The issue was fixed in a version of subman including a new progress dialog used to show a spinner to the user while validating server connection info (including proxy connection info). The expected behaviour (if the PR is accepted) in the case above, should be for an error dialog to pop up on top of the new validate server info page containing the following message: "Proxy authentication failed, please check your settings.".
