Bug Description
Krillin, rc-proposed, rc83
DESCRIPTION:
Let's suppose I want to switch from wifi to mobile data *without* turning off wifi. I couldn't find a way to do that from the settings app (or from the indicator).
There's a checkbox to the right of the currently connected network, but...
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
I can disconnect from a wifi network (either by tapping on that checkbox, or on a disconnect button)
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Tapping on the checkbox actually disconnects the wifi, but then immediately reconnects as the wifi backend finds a known wifi network (the one I just disconnected from). So the checkbox is currently useless, from what I can see.

The Wi-Fi screen is not supposed to have a checkbox next to the current network. <https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Networking# wi-fi-phone>
That's not germane to this bug report, though -- unless it is the only thing that made you think you should be able to be able to switch from wi-fi to mobile data, when known wi-fi networks are available, without turning off wi-fi. Is it? Or do you have some use case for doing that?
