On my system, if i click on the NM applet, I have to wait for a few seconds before any network (other than the one I am currently connected to) pops up. I guess this is because networkmanager has to look for them, fine. But during this 4-5s period, I am left with an empty applet and no indication that it's doing something. We should have a "Scanning for network" message, or a spinning symbol, or something along these lines.
There's a ScanDone signal nowadays that could be used.
I've just tested this and cannot reproduce, it appears the network manager is already populated as the popup opens. Can you please retest and confirm if this is still an issue, thanks.

This bug report is still relevent. As we can see in the attached screen recording, there is no indication that plasma-nm applet is searching for networks when we open its popup by the first time after login.

As I mentioned in bug #406160, it is very annoying for the wifi list to repopulate itself as you're about to click connect on a VPN. Personally I hate when stuff reloads on its own and would prefer this behavior replaced by a manual refresh button, but alternatively having some indication that the list is being refreshed would at least let me know that I need to wait.
