unlock for minting from menu seems unreliable

[mdpfeiffer]

Just a hypothesis here, but is it possible that there’s a difference in physically mouse-clicking the confirmation dialogue vs. tapping enter/returnon the keyboard after entering password to unlock wallet for minting only? This is on the QT wallet, Mac build.

I have noticed that if I just click enter from the keyboard that the wallet appears to be unlocked for staking, but staking never occurs.

If I quit the app and restart it, then mouse-clliclk the OK button, a ripe transaction stakes instantly.

If you click on the menu bar and select "unlock wallet for block minting only," then dismiss the dialogue by clicking cancel or by pressing escape, there is a checkmark that shows up under settings as if it were unlocked. but, in fact, it's still locked.

In a separate attempt, I think (but I'm not sure) that I type my password incorrectly, and the checkmark was displayed, but the wallet was actually still locked. But if you didn't know that the password was typed incorrectly, you might not realize why. i haven't been able to replicate this yet (failure to give error for bad password).
