Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.10 r22

1. Navigate to System Settings > "Wi-Fi".
2. Navigate to "Connect to hidden network..." (if bug 1365984 has been fixed) or "Other network" (if it hasn't).

What happens: You end up at another screen in the page stack. This means, for example, that you can enter network details, tap Back, and it isn't obvious whether those details will be applied or remembered.

What should happen: A dialog opens containing the network fields, and it is not possible to navigate elsewhere in System Settings without tapping "Cancel" or "Connect".

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-connecting-dialog>: "Whenever Ubuntu connects manually to a network, or sets up a hotspot, it is the result of an action in a dialog: 'Wi-Fi Available', 'Connect to {network name}', 'Connect to Hidden Network', 'Set Up Hotspot', or 'Change Hotspot Setup'."

Fixing this bug probably would fix bug 1365997 and bug 1366005. It may also save time to fix bug 1365984 and bug 1365992 at the same time as this bug.
