STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to a Wifi
2. Have several other wifis in your range (not sure if relevant)
3. Have several other known VPNs configured (not sure if relevant)
4. Start to connect to a VPN:in my case openconnect, where I need to enter credentials
5. Don't enter those credentials, but open the Network Applet (or keep it open from the start)

OBSERVED RESULT
The connected wifi stays on top. All other items move several entries down.
When scrolling through this corrupted list, the scroll position sometimes jump or items change positions.

Please see one screenshot.

This is fixed in the upcoming 6.5.0, where we were able to removed a lot of old buggy manual positioning code in this widget, in favor of using the standard stuff which works much better.
