I'm also affected by this bug. After some (approx 5/6) disconnects and
re-connects to wifi no problems but then later the wifi network name is
not shown in network-manager applet. If I opt to connect to hidden
network then the network name is available from the dropdown but after
that is selected then the connect button is greyed out.

Ubuntu Mate 16.04 clean install i.e not an upgrade. Acer Aspire laptop. This 
same laptop was running Linux Mint Mate (on Ubuntu Precise base) and it did not 
have this problem.
I can run these as a manual workaround:

sudo killall nm-applet
sudo service network-manager stop
sudo service network-manager start
sudo nohup nm-applet -9

I also have a desktop running Linux Mint 14 Mate (Ubuntu base not
Debian) which does not have this problem.
