Killing nm-applet and restarting it makes the bug go away. Maybe this
can be fixed now with an SRU?

Title:
network tools don't work
Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
New
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This has been forever the case, since I started using gnome classic on Ubuntu
11. I am now to Ubuntu 12 and it is still there.
Here is the problem description:
- when I left click on the wifi thingy in the applet, a menu drops down.
There is a short list of what the applet seems to consider the most important
wifi networks, (although I don't follow it's reasoning on choosing the
preferred ones, apart from it being too short).
- However, NONE of the things in the dropdown menu respond to any clicks, and
the "More networks" pull-out shows nothing more than a thin grey line of about
a centimeter long and a few milimeters thick.
So it's a hassle to connect to any network that it doesn't connect
automatically to, especially when it is not in the list. I have to go
through the main gnome menu to find the network tools and look at
another device to find the SSID for the network I want to connect to.
Then enter it manually, and then, the indicator applet will find it.
This is how right now I was able to file this bug. Cheers, fje
