File manager does not offer SMB authentication #1

Hi! I'm trying to use the Deepin File Manager to connect to a SMB server. The SMB server requires user authentication, but the file manager doesn't ask me for it or allow me to input it anywhere. deepinscreenshot20160218140036

I can only view the public folders on the network, but whenever I try to connect to a folder that needs authentication it simply fails. deepinscreenshot20160218135653

I can not reproduce this bug with my laptop. I wonder it is the bug from gvfs-backends(smb plugin), we will report to the upstreamer.

I managed to authenticate by typing smb://address on the top bar (the one that has "Windows shares on ..." written in blue on my screenshots). By typing the smb address there I was shown the login prompt I expected and successfully logged me in.

So, there are 3 ways I tried to do this:

1 - First screenshot: go to "other locations" and try to "Connect to Server". I get nothing, not even a message prompt. The button changes from "Connect" to "Connecting" for a split second and nothing happens.

2 - Second screenshot: go to "other locations" and navigate the folders. I can see public folders but trying to get into a folder that needs authentication gets me the error from this screenshot.

3 - Typing the smb address on the top of the file manager works: it gives me the authentication prompt and I'm able to connect. deepinscreenshot20160219101624 deepinscreenshot20160219101834

Thank you very much for the quick response!

Edited to add how I got to the type address
