Public bug reported: I frequently have multiple users logged in on my laptop. When starting from standby and logging in to the current user, wifi connection is regularly blocked. NetworkManager appears to try connecting from the other user which seems decisively quicker. This is throwing an error message with the uid of the user apparently already trying to connect. Actually, all non-used wifis are shown as "connection in progress", while "connect" to the actual wifi network is not clickable. NetworkManager on the other user cannot connect though because finishing the connection apparently requires being logged in at that exact moment. Wifi connection is not achievable therefore in the current user.
Logging back in to the other user to solve this wifi issue is doable in my case, but only since it is me controlling both accounts. In any case it is a tedious procedure. I guess it just wasn't ever tested during development?
