Bug 247089

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.95) 
OS:                Linux

The "Add Network Connection" dialog almost always pops up pre-populated with the details corresponding to some already existing connection, unrelated to the one I am trying to add.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I often need to add a new wireless connection.  I initiate this process either by clicking the "Add..." button in the "Network Connections" KDE control module, or by clicking on a network connection in the toolbar applet.

Actual Results:  
The "Add Network Connection" dialog almost always pops up pre-populated with the details corresponding to some already existing connection, unrelated to the one I am trying to add.

(e.g. it shows something like "Connection name: Washington Dulles WiFi"; and all of the other details also correspond to the old connection rather than to the one I want to add.  The old connection which appears seems to be chosen more-or-less randomly from my list of wireless connections; it has nothing to do with what networks are actually available at that moment.)

If I dismiss the dialog and re-open it, it typically appears populated with the details corresponding to some _other_ pre-existing connection.  After roughly 5 tries or so, the dialog eventually appears with "New Wireless Connection" as desired.  From that point on, everything works fine.



Expected Results:  
If it was invoked from the "Add..." button in the "Network Connections" KDE control module, the dialog should pop up showing "Connection name: New Wireless Connection".  If it was invoked by clicking on a network connection in the toolbar applet, it should show the details relevant to the connection being added.

I also had this problem in KDE 4.4 (and perhaps earlier -- I cannot remember exactly when I first noticed it.)
