Description Jason Straight 2022-12-17 12:52:16 UTC 
When using Network Manager Widget as a drop down/pop-up, during negotiation of a connection it corrupts the output of the list of networks and displays a large blank area. Scrolling jumps around. It's impossible to click on anything until the connection times out.

If I add the widget to the desktop, expanded to a size that displays the list, it doesn't seem to exhibit the same behavior and works properly. It only seems to do this if you use the icon mode and have it pop-up/down to display the list.

It has always been like this, and for some reason I just kept forgetting to file a report on it.

I do have many wireless networks in my list, and several VPN's.

Preeeeetty sure this is fixed in Plasma 6. Feel free to re-open if you still experience the issue though (the exact same one, not a slightly different variant of it)
