Public bug reported:
Upstream patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3840
(currently being upstreamed, WIP)
Impacts Noble, Plucky, Questing
SRU Justification:
[ Impact ]
Prior to this patch, upon a connected AP disconnecting from
the device, the current quicksettings wi-fi icon will continue
showing the "network-wireless-connected-symbolic" symbol in
the time between the initial disconnection and the adapter
deactivation, even though the connection has been
degraded by virtue of no longer being routable.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Connect an access point to the test device.
2. Turn off the access point.
Without the fix, it will take about 30 seconds for the Wi-Fi
quicksettings icon to change to the adapter deactivated state. With the
fix, the "question mark" variant of the icon will be shown immediately
and remain visible until we reach the adapter deactivated state.
[ Fix ]
To make this clearer to the user, this change modifies
quicksettings' wifi icon to reflect the degraded state.
[ Where problems could occur ]
This is purely a cosmetic change, so at most, a user may be surprised to
find that the icon state updates differently (more quickly) than it used
to.
