Public bug reported:
Xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS focal
Applet version from network-manager-gnome 1.8.24-1uubuntu3 amd64
Please note: the issue described below only seems to occur when building
the applet on my xubuntu 20.04.2 LTS machines. (I have not tried other
ubuntu variants).
If I'm on my home xubuntu machine the problem seems to appear whether
I'm using the ubuntu package, the ubuntu source archive, the upstream
archive, or the upstream source distribution.
The problem does _not_ seem to occur when building the exact same
upstream sources in debian using xfce as its window manager. (I have not
tried other debian variants).
Experienced
If I open an existing connection with an existing VPN, the selected VPN
in the VPN drop down list appears to always show the incorrect VPN. This
results in a situation where opening a connection and clicking "save" on
the general tab always changes the selected VPN, even if I did not make
any change.
Expected
When I open an existing connection, the VPN listed should be the VPN
actually on the connection, not some other random VPN from my list
Reproduction Steps
1. Open nm-connection-editor
2. Add multiple VPNs with different names (i.e. US VPN East, US VPN West, Corp
VPN East, Corp VPN Europe, Corp VPN West)
3. Create a connection (I've reproduced this on wireless and wired connections)
4. Set the connection to automatically connect to VPN
5. Choose any VPN to automatically connect to
6. Save and close
7. re-open nm-connection-editor
8. Edit the same connection created before
9. Note that the automatic VPN has changed to a different VPN in your list
without you having to do antying
10. Click save without changing anything
11. re-open network-manager-editor
12. Note again that the VPN connection is _again_ incorrect
The symptom you should be experiencing is that the VPN that is chosen
when you save - gets saved and used by the connection, but the user
interface does not display the correct VPN when viewed in the connection
editor. This means that any time you edit the connection it might be
swapping your selected VPN without your knowledge.
