Re: [Bug 1452751] Re: Connecting network jump is confusing
To clarify: What I find most confusing is that when you tap the network, it jumps on top without any notification that you have tapped it. Only after a while, it changes color. If you want to keep the jumping on top behaviour, I suggest you change the color, or put an icon overlay BEFORE jumping on top, so it is clear to the user that he tapped it. In many (obviously inferior) operating systems, the ordering of the available networks changes while you are scrolling through them, so the network jumping on top isn't a universal sign that you tapped it. 2015-06-15 9:58 GMT+02:00 Matthew Paul Thomas m...@canonical.com: It would be great if the System Settings network list *was* exactly the same code as the network indicator network list. Currently they differ in icon size, spacing, padlock position, and colors vs. checkboxes, so it would be alarming if one really was a copy of the other. Anyway, in Ubuntu 15.04 r23, System Settings, the indicator menu, and the first-run setup all have the bug described: when you select a network, it jumps to the top of the list before it has even connected. This is especially jarring when it fails to connect at all, for example because you don't know the password. That the network you choose should jump to the top currently isn't mentioned in the spec at all. It's a good idea -- better than using checkboxes, at least! -- but if it had been specced in advance perhaps this bug would have been avoided.

The spec [1] says there should be a spinner and that the network should stay in place. The Ubuntu System Settings menu is a copy of the Network indicator menu.
