nm-applet assertion failure manipulating widgets

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you for your bug report. Is that still an issue? Which desktop environment do you use? (nm-applet isn't used by GNOME)

I start from xfce4 with other odd apps added.

Hello Raphael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted network-manager-applet into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/1.8.24-1ubuntu3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Thank you, but I can't see how to install it.

I have
  deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed
universe restricted multiverse main
in /etc/apt/sources.list and I have run apt-update, but the new version
does not appear in synaptic, software-updater or when I do an apt-
search
