Description
Hi, it makes me put in the connection details every time. I tried both SSH via privatekey and password, same problem. I don't care that much about the error that happens when the connection manager dialog is clicked away but it's more visible and it indicates an obvious problem. What I need fixed is that I have to keep inputting the connection details every single time.
(this used to be better when I tried with vs2015 like half a year ago, it remembered the setting, but back then I was using the pipe options too)
Debugging works great as far as I can tell except for that.
I am running on:
dotnet --version 1.0.1 (website calls it 1.1.1, I'm confused)
vs2017 (installed yesterday)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the connection manager behavior in Visual Studio 2017 with both SSH private-key and password authentication, noting the separate error when the dialog is dismissed. Inspect the connection-manager flow and any persistence-related code or tests; done means connection details remain available between debugging sessions and dismissing the dialog no longer produces the reported prominent error.
