it's not just blinking, sometimes, when i navigate into the vpn menu and click on a vpn config it just doesn't do anything except closing the menu. i guess it blinks so fast one cannot see it and then the click basically gets lost or sent to the desktop background and the menu folds. this is super annoying, sometimes i have to navigate the nm menus like 3 times to finally get some action.
