Bug Description

open the Connection Information window accessible via
Indicator Menu Network > Connection Information

keep it open in the foreground and change the connection

observe that not all fields are being updated, but "Speed:" is.

The title of this window is "Active Network Connections".
This is incorrect, since the first field of this listing ( Connection Name ) is never updated.
I'd have to close the window and re-open it again in order to see the updated value.
OTOH, Connection Speed updates in realtime, suggesting that i'm looking at all active|live|current information.
This is misleading.

Either the title "Active Network Connections" should be removed entirely to be replaced with the first field in the listing ( Connection Name ) itself, or the values shown in the Window "Connection Information" should all be live and instantly updated.
