Description irchaika 2021-03-30 02:46:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
Despite only a hotspot entry being shown in the dedicated configuration window, the applet list will show 2 entries for the hotspot (1 connected, the other disconnected).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create access point.
2. right click and go to configuration.
3. change configuration, for example password.

OBSERVED RESULT
another hotspot item appears on the applet list despite the configuration window only showing the one hotspot item

EXPECTED RESULT
no ghost item appears.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.11.6
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I imagine the ghost item represents the default configuration prior to us changing hotspot configuration.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27.11 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.2.4 (the latest released version)? I'm not able to reproduce this on 6.2.4.

If you can still reproduce the bug, please change the Status to "CONFIRMED". Thanks.
