BUG: Spark 2.6.0 RC1, Password change followed by session disconnect

If password is changed via preferences during a session, and then the connection with the server is lost during that same session, Spark erroneously displays error saying password could not be changed (error displays when the connection is lost, even hours after the password change took place), even though subsequent login shows that the password did indeed change successfully.

You would be correct

To recreate:

  1. Log into spark

  2. Change your password via preferences

  3. Disconnect your system from the network

  4. Allow spark to decay/disconnect

  5. Enjoy the easter egg
