I can't reproduce this in Plasma 6, with current git master. Seems it's been fixed along the way.
Comment 3 Antti Savolainen 2025-06-12 21:24:46 UTC 
I was able to reproduce this in a fresh git build https://youtu.be/xpCYABrTWVw
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2025-06-16 16:48:17 UTC 
Aha, looks like you need two connection types. I can reproduce this with ethernet and wifi, but not with two wifi connections.

applet: Fix list interactions with the password field open

Clicking connect or disconnect on a connection item would not give any
feedback if a password was being entered in another connection item
since model updates were disabled.

This commit changes the behavior so that clicking connect/disconnect 
closes other open password fields, ensuring that either one password
field is open, or the model begins updating if we can freely connect or
disconnect the other item.
FIXED-IN: 6.5.0
