This is a grave bug. I suppose we can assume from your description that
the seedier the wifi portal, the more likely it is to spontaneously
occur, despite any and all user configuration or intervention.
Would it be possible to post the link to your bug report? To your
knowledge has the bug been fixed since you reported it a decade ago? As
many users here including myself rely on the N-M app, I'm sure we would
all be interested in knowing where we stand.
