is sometimes mysteriously missing

SUMMARY
The "connect" context menu entry in the "WiFi & Networking" section when
right-clicking a wifi network is sometimes mysteriously missing, see
screenshot. My guess is perhaps it's already trying to connect to something,
but 1. that shouldn't stop me from telling it to connect to something else, and
2. if i tell it to connect to something it's already connecting to it should
just keep doing so. Therefore, it seems more confusing than helpful to me to
make this entry disappear so often, especially since there seems to be zero
indication or explanation anywhere under which conditions it is missing and
why.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use "Wi-Fi & Networking" panel
2. Try to use "Connect" in context menu on wifi networks
OBSERVED RESULT
Half the time, the "connect" entry is missing. This even happens when there is
no connecting spinner shown in the list. There doesn't seem to be any part of
the UI telling the user why that is. Usually, a few seconds later it just
reappears without explanation.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Connect" entry is always present, and clicking it when already connecting will
either continue connecting (if same network) or abort and switch the target (if
other network).
