Yes I found this bug too. The bug arose after I did a clean full install of Mate 18.04LTS, but I re-used my old Mate 16.04 home partition. So it's probably confused by my old style configuration files which were imported from Mate16.04 to Mate 18.04.
The workaround of using Mate Tweak to switch the panel style to something else and then back to Traditional fixed the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754458 Title: nm-applet symbol not displayed on mate (18.04) Status in ubuntu-mate: Confirmed Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04, the network manager applet symbol isn't displayed any longer.
