1) Delete any reference to your WiFi connection in "Edit Connections" and disconnect.
2) Find it in the WiFi list (from the applet) and click it.
3) Type your WiFi password.
4) Nothing happens.
5) Open "Edit Connections" and observe that the WiFi password is blank.
6) Try again and it usually works.
I would expect it to connect first time and for the password to be stored and showing in "Edit Connections".
This has been tried with a fresh 16.04 install both without any updates and with all latest updates.
