Bug Description
If I un-check the "Make available to other users" box, as soon as the computer is rebooted it will not re-connect to that WiFi network again and acts as if it has never connected to the network.
I have to click on the SSID name and set up a new connection (e.g. "SSIDname 1") to reconnect. If I again go into settings and un-check the box on the new connection, the issue repeats (and I end up with "SSIDname 2", etc.).
Even if I go back and re-check the box and apply the settings, the system refuses to reconnect using that connection and I have to set up a new one.
Any new connection works fine across reboots, etc. until the first reboot after I un-check the box and apply the settings.
I only have one user on this system, currently.
