Bug Description
I'm running the latest version of 16.04 with the latest applet version 1.1.93. I'm using a Thinkpad P50 laptop. On my system, the network applet works fine when the system is newly booted, then if I either enable and disable the wifi, or suspend the laptop and log back in, the icon in the status bar will change to the Ethernet connection icon, and if I click on the applet, it will only show "Wifi Networks" under the Ethernet rows. But if I open the actual Network Manager window, everything looks fine, it sees all the wifi hotspots in range, and the system is connected to wifi. Everything works fine except for the applet not showing any wifi connections what so ever.
To be more specific, the first several rows I currently have in the menu are:
Ethernet Network
disconnected
Wifi Networks
Connect to Hidden Wi-Fi Networks...
There's no way I can get it back to displaying properly again, without doing a reboot.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
