When using a VPN and triggering a VPN connection, the applet starts spinning for the connection attempt. During that time the "authorization required" is displayed. When the connection is successfully established (i.e. I can use the VPN) and a notification is displayed that the connection is established, the applet still remains spinning with "authorization required". The issue is now that this spinning burns about 1 CPU core and drains battery fast. Note, this applies irrespectively of the type of VPN (I use OpenVPN and vpnc). Note, this behavior is not seen immediately. I.e. when you create a new user with a clean KDE configuration, the VPN connection behaves nicely and the spinning stops when the connection is there. But after a couple of days without changing anything in the VPN configs (at least I did not noticeably change anything), the described behavior appears again. Reproducible: Always

Bug 352326 references that the Fedora package kf5-networkmanager-qt-5.18.0-2 fixes the bug. I use Fedora 23 with kf5-networkmanager-qt-5.19.0-1.fc23.x86_64 and see the problem.
Ok, could you provide information from here https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Solid/Plasma-nm#My_connection_in_the_applet_shows_wrong_information?

Is there anything in particular you are interested in?
