Bug Description

Using ubuntu hoary array-4 I got the following bug each time I tried.

When opening the Network Settings dialog (Desktop->Administration->Networking),
selecting wireless connection and properties, then pusing okay and re-opening
the properties the Network Name (ESSID) list will have one more icon for each
item in the list. There will be one more icon per item for each time I do this.
See the following screenshot for a visual example:

Use the following steps to reproduce the bug:

1) Desktop->Administration->Networking
2) the Network Settings dialog is showing
3) Selects Wireless connection (its active) and push "properties"
4) the Interface properties dialog is showing
5) press the OK button
6) press Properties again and click to see the network name (ESSID) list.

The bug is now visible. If I want more icons I can just repeat step 5 and 6.

When I restart the application it starts over again with just one icon, but the
bug is still there when I use the approach described above. After the bug have
occured the application become very unstable, and in 2/3's of the time I have
used it the application have eventually crashed. Once nautilus also crashed at
the same time.

I have also described the error on the ubuntu forums at this location:
