Bug ID: 424951
Summary: Wifi scanning makes me click the wrong VPN connection
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: phi...@whatsbeef.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I want to connect to an existing VPN, I click the applet icon and then
click the VPN connection I want (often the first one under "Available
connections"). However, due to wifi scanning, a wifi connection suddenly
appears in its place and I click on that instead which is almost as infuriating
as when I accidentally click an ad because my browser re-arranged a page while
loading.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a wifi connection available (but not currently connected. This often
happens if you have a 2.4/5g router).
2. Click applet with the intent to connect to a VPN
2. Click on the VPN to initiate the connection
3. Realise wifi scanning changed the order and you have accidentally clicked on
the wrong item
4. Be frustrated enough to file a bug report
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicked on the wrong network connection
EXPECTED RESULT
Items do not suddenly change so that the user can click on the wrong item. I
wont pretend to be a UI expert and come up with an alternative for the UI, but
re-arranging items after presenting them to the user is a good way for them to
click on the wrong one.
