Hello Arkady,

the bug is located at the network-manager-applet package, because it is handling the TLS settings applet.

Here is a workaround to see all files in the file selector. This is not a complete fix.

1. Make sure you can download source packages. See more information here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28372/how-do-i-get-and-modify-the-source-code-of-packages-installed-through-apt-get

2. Open commandline, create an empty folder and 'cd' to it.

3. Get the source code of the package:
apt-get source network-manager-gnome

4. Apply the patch attached to this comment, first download the patch file to current folder, then:
patch < file-selector-workaround.patch

5. Get build dependencies for this package:
sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager-gnome

6. Build package with workaround:
cd network-manager-applet-1.2.0
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

7. Install modified package:
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i network-manager-gnome_1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb

8. Reboot and now the file selector will show the key files for wifi and wired configuration.
