Bug Description
Ubuntu 15.04 r23
1. Do any of the following:
- open System Settings > "Wi-Fi"
- open the network indicator
- flash the phone and go to the "Connect to Wi-Fi" step
2. Tap a closed network that is not on top and that you haven't used before
Behaviour I get:
Network jumps to top. After a while a prompt pops up to request your password. This can take up to 5 second on slow networks.
This is very confusing. When the network jumped to the top, I wasn't sure if I tapped it, so I tapped it again. This had the following result: *popup asking for password appears* *popup goes away almost immediately* *popup comes back after a few seconds*
Proposed solution:
Immediately after tapping a network, even before putting it on top of the list, give it an indication of "trying to connect" either by a different color, a loading icon, ... (let the design guys figure this out)
