(I have not tried other ubuntu variants). If I'm on my home xubuntu machine the problem seems to appear whether I'm using the ubuntu package, the ubuntu source archive, the upstream archive, or the upstream source distribution. The problem does _not_ seem to occur when building the exact same upstream sources in debian using xfce as its window manager. (I have not tried other debian variants). Experienced If I open an existing connection with an existing VPN, the selected VPN in the VPN drop down list appears to always show the incorrect VPN. This results in a situation where opening a connection and clicking "save" on the general tab always changes the selected VPN, even if I did not make any change. Expected When I open an existing connection, the VPN listed should be the VPN actually on the connection, not some other random VPN from my list Reproduction Steps 1. Open nm-connection-editor 2. Add multiple VPNs with different names (i.e. US VPN East, US VPN West, Corp VPN East, Corp VPN Europe, Corp VPN West) 3. Create a connection (I've reproduced this on wireless and wired connections) 4. Set the connection to automatically connect to VPN 5. Choose any VPN to automatically connect to 6. Save and close 7. re-open nm-connection-editor 8. Edit the same connection created before 9. Note that the automatic VPN has changed to a different VPN in your list without you having to do antying 10. Click save without changing anything 11. re-open network-manager-editor 12. Note again that the VPN connection is _again_ incorrect The symptom you should be experiencing is that the VPN that is chosen when you save - gets saved and used by the connection, but the user interface does not display the correct VPN when viewed in the connection editor. This means that any time you edit the connection it might be swapping your selected VPN without your knowledge.
