[system-settings] + [WiFi] Forgetting network from Previous Networks screen goes back to WiFi screen if the AP in question was connected

[Brendan Donegan]

This relates to the fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-system-settings/+bug/1370389 which is about to be landed in RTM.

It looks like the bug above is only partially fixed. If we try to forget the network we are connected to then the old behaviour is retained - it goes back to the WiFi main screen rather than to the Previous Networks screen. If we only try with networks that we aren't connected to then it works fine.

A couple of questions:
1) Is the network you are currently connected to appear in "Previous Networks"? The spec[1] does not answer this.
2) Given that the answer to 1) is yes, what should happen if you forget the network you are currently connected to?

[Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt)]

Per spec, the screen for an individual network should be a dialog, and dismissing a dialog doesn't normally navigate you through a page stack. So even while it isn't a dialog, forgetting a network shouldn't take you any further than where you came from, i.e. the "Previous Networks" screen.

(1) Yes, the network you're currently connected to should be included in the "Previous Networks" list, as it is now. An unfortunate consequence is that you can get to two different screens from the currently-connected network, depending on whether you select it from the "Wi-Fi" list or from the "Previous Networks" list. I guess those screens should be combined in future.

(2) Forgetting the currently-connected network should disconnect from it.

Specification updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=diff&rev2=249&rev1=248> But both of these are how Ubuntu behaves already (at least in 14.10 r240), so I think the only change required for this bug is the navigation.
