Description:
When working through the "Create a new server instance" wizard, the prompt to "Enter SSH password" appears as a "sheet" behind the modal dialog box for the wizard. In some situations, it is not possible to see the "Enter SSH password" sheet, it is not possible to click any buttons on (or close) the modal wizard.

The user must move the modal dialog box in order to see the "Enter SSH password" sheet, though it's not obvious that this is possible because the window decorations indicate that the modal dialog cannot be focused.

How to repeat:
1) New Server Instance
2) Remote Host
3) Continue to "Host SSH Connection"/"Set remote configuration parameters"
4) Leave Password blank
5) Continue
6) Observe that password prompt is obscured by "Create a new server instance" window (this will depend on screen size and window placement of course)

Suggested fix:
The password prompt should be a dialog box or a sheet that is attached to the "Create a new server instance" window.

This has been a wrong work flow. The password dialog was opened when no password and no key file was given. However, this should be tested already on the previous page. That's how it is now.

Fixed in 5.2

thats fixed now, as you're forced to enter a password or supply a key for the checks in he wizard to work. you can still remove the password/key again, if you dont want to save it along your profile, once it's been created.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.11 changelog:

When using the Create a new server instance wizard the panel used to enter the SSH password was hidden by the wizard.

I guess the bug I am seeing is very similar to this but relates more to the Manage DB Connections interface than the New Server Instance interface. I'll file a new bug.
