Yes, this is the intended behavior. I find it very useful the way it is as when a DHCP server is not functioning correctly, you can just reselect the network to reinitialize and reconnect to it. If the ability to reconnect by choosing the network again is removed, a repair button would need to be added to provide this functionality. I think it is a bit more integrated the way it is now rather then having a separate repair function, like Windows has.
