Seems still be broken in 16.04.1 LTS Desktop.
Note: The network I was experiencing this issue with is a hidden WLAN network. When using a visible WLAN network, the issue might not occur.

Command line Workaround (see Bug #1542733) works for me to reconnect manually (tested only on Desktop)
nmcli c up id <WiFiSSID>

But I would expect that a reconnect always takes place automatically and in a timely manner.
But my experience is: Sometimes it works, but often it does not.

Can someone confirm that it is related to a hidden WLAN network?
