Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
When I click on the NetworkManager it lists two entries, "Wired
Network", with the radio-style select button next to it (solid, meaning
"selected") and another entry that reads "Static configuration...".
If I click on the already-selected Wired Network, the applet displays a
status balloon titled "Disconnected" and reads: "The network connection
has been disconnected." Followed shortly thereafter is another status
balloon titled "Connection Established" and reads: "You are now
connected to the wired network."
Expected behavior:
With a radio-style select button, usually re-selecting an already-selected
choice wouldn't cause any action to occur, so I was not expecting (nor did I
wish it to occur) for the applet to disconnect and reconnect the Wired Network.
Actually, if you have two choices, e.g., Wired Network and Wireless
network, I don't think you would want to use radio-style select button
-- because that is for mutually exclusive choices, and I may want both
of those types of network connections active simultaneously. Perhaps
checkbox toggles instead of a radio-style selector is more appropriate?
Either way, the current behavior for this seems odd, to me.
