That also affects me. Can't identify what drives this misbehavior. Workaround: restart the applet (see @Jiri Vaclavovic 2012-10-16)

This happens both with the list of available networks and with the VPN list. When the bug happens, it occurs for *both* the wireless submenu and the VPN menu. I know there are entries for those submenus as I can see them with other network UI mechanisms. The issue is intermittent. Expected: Dropping down the menu then hovering over the submenu trigger-point (example: "More networks") shows the additional expected entries (example: more wifi networks to choose from). Actual: Dropping down the menu and hovering over the submenu trigger displays a submenu but the submenu has nothing in it and is unusable.
