I think the main issue here is the erratic wifi reception, so that's a kernel bug (or hardware or environmental). The GUI design is understandably annoying in this case, but it's of secondary concern and I can't find evidence of other people having the same problem. So low priority for gnome-shell.
If you'd like to discuss the design further with the GNOME developers then please open a new issue at: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues But I suggest the most important thing here is to progress as a kernel bug, so please run the following command on the affect system to collect more information: apport-collect 1933748 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1933748 Title: Gnome wifi menu items jumping up and down make clicking risky To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1933748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
