[ubuntu-uk] network-manager applet menu unresponsive in GUI

Hi, Just noticed today that the network-manager icon in the top right has stopped responding. When I click on it, it opens the normal menu, and I can see available networks, and the normal options... but when I click on them, it closes the menu, but does nothing, regardless of the option I select
