Bug#797051: plasma-nm: connection editor does not allow editing WiFi connection parameters
Package: plasma-nm
Version: 0.9.3.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am using my company's WiFi infrastructure using my personal password, which
needs to be changed from time to time. Today, after changing my password, WiFi
could not connect as it was still trying with the old password. I have tried to
edit the connection parameters, and to my surprise I have realised that the in
the Connection Editor the edit option only shows me the connection name (and
the OK button is inactive, so even that cannot be changed).
There is no way to edit the other parameters.
I could resolve my issue by deleting the connection and then initiating a new
connection to the same network - when creating the connection, plasma-nm has
asked me to provide all the details. This was risky as I was not sure in all
the network parameters.
I would expect that the Edit function in the Connection Editor will give me
exactly the same window that I see when I create a new connection, with the
parameters already filled in so that I can reuse them and change only what I
want.
Cheers,
Gabor
