Bug ID: 435981
Summary: VPN connections are mixed with unregistered WIFI
connections - VPN connection changes its position in
the list
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: j...@ganomi.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
VPN connections are mixed with unregistered WIFI networks. When I want to
connect to a VPN connection, I often miss-click on unregistered WIFI
connection, because when I open the applet, WIFI starts scanning and adds new
unregistered connections to the list on top of my registered VPN connections.
This can happen in a split of a second and results in miss-clicks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add VPN networks to your network connections.
2. Ensure that there are more unregistered WIFI connections in your area.
3. To initiate VPN, click on network applet in System Tray
4. When network applet opens, you might see that unregistered WIFIs and VPN
connections starts to reshuffle in the list of connections (depends on the WIFI
SSID naming)
5. If you want to connect to your VPN connection and reshuffling starts at the
same time, you might accidentally click on unregistered WIFI rather than the
VPN connection, because the VPN connection changes its position in the list.
OBSERVED RESULT
VPNs and unregistered WIFI connections are mixed together which can result in
miss-clicks when WIFI connections are being updated.
EXPECTED RESULT
VPN connections should have its own section to avoid reshuffling when WIFI
networks are updated.
