SUMMARY When I try to connect to a WiFi or VPN and connection establishing is in progress (e.g. there is progress indicator over plasma-nm widget), whole panel becomes unresponsive. I can't click on any icon in panel or tray, shortcuts don't work as well. When VPN is connected, everything works again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create WiFi connection and connect 2. Create VPN 3. Click connect to VPN via nm widget in tray 4. Panel becomes unresponsive OBSERVED RESULT Panel / shortcuts become unresponsive EXPECTED RESULT I should be able to use panel / notification bar / shortcuts while connection is being established. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro testing KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue was not cause by upgrade to Plasma 5.20. It existed before.
I can reproduce this bug on plasma 5.20.5 (I suspect it should be reassigned to the plasma-nm component).
Created attachment 135477 [details] notification: "Failed to deactivate"
Additionally, if you try to deactivate the VPN, after a few seconds you get multiple notifications saying "Failed to deactivate" (see attached screenshot).
I filed this upstream NetworkManager bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/934 I feel that plasmashell also shouldn't block the whole UI while waiting for a reply from NetworkManager
