Inconsistent state between panel icon and menu

[Ted Gould]

Binary package hint: network-manager

When I am on very busy wireless networks the network manager applet gets into an inconsistent state. The icon on the panel is the "bars" where it is measuring wireless strength, but when you pull down the menu the radio buttons are not filled in choosing an access point. When selecting one, it reconnects, but before that it is disconnected.

I believe that the disconnection issue is a problem with my wireless drivers, but the inconsistent state is a problem with the network manager applet.

It's attached. Not sure why that didn't come with the original e-mail, but it's definitely there :)

could also be an applet issue. have to track from syslog output to how this evolves into applet disabling radio button.

FWIW this bug happens here too.

is this an issue in 0.7.1? otherwise, please file this bug in bugzilla.gnome.org as i probably wont have time to track this down.

@Ted: Can you reproduce this in Ubuntu 12.04?

[Ted Gould (ted)]

No, I think we've removed the radio marker in 12.04, so I'm pretty sure this bug is impossible now :-)
