This behaviour just started happening.  When you first told me of the
0.0.0.0 gateway option on VPN connections, it did not do this.

Like the pic shows, it now makes me fill in the gateway address
0.0.0.0 again every time I edit the connection.  This happens on VPN
connections as well as ethernet profiles in this version.

You are correct though - if I use nm-connection-editor, the issue is
not there.  Looks like an issue with gnome-control-center - do I need
to punt this their direction?

Thanks,

Greg
