Public bug reported: When I try to connect to wireless networks, I usually use the GUI in the top-right of the screen to select a network. I get a prompt which says that to connect I require a password. If I put the network password in the textbox and I press Enter (or click on the button) the prompt closes but it doesn't connect to the network and the password is ignored. I usually have to go in the Wi-Fi settings, select a network's settings and put the password in the textbox in the Security Tab. When I apply and select the network it connects and all is fine from that moment on.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Release 16.04 (lsb_release -rd).
