Summary: VPN login dialog suppresses Wifi connection password
dialog

Hi there!
My work's VPN was being problematic today, so I left the VPN login dialog ("VPN
secrets (openconnect) dialog") open to remind myself of it. Meanwhile, my Wifi
disconnected, and when trying to reconnect it kept getting stuck at "Waiting
for authorization". After much hair-pulling, I figured out that having the VPN
dialog open actually prevents the connection password dialog from appearing.
This was surprising. There's no clear indication that there was another
password dialog in the system queue, which the Wifi authorization was waiting
for. But even so, I'd expect that the Wifi password prompt would come up even
though the VPN dialog is active. From a user perspective, there's no reason for
one to block the other.
Side note: After this happened, somehow a new connection was created with " 1"
appended to the name. I'm not exactly sure what caused that, but it seems
potentially related.
