GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 737585
Tooltip displaying wrong connection name when there's a VPN connection set to auto-connect

Created attachment 287342 [details] My current configuration When you have a wired connection set with a VPN connection, the tooltip incorrectly shows: "Ethernet network connection 'Sapo VPN' active VPN connection 'Sapo VPN' active" It's displaying the VPN connection twice. It should be: "Ethernet network connection 'Sapo Wired' active VPN connection 'Sapo VPN' active"
Created attachment 287344 [details] The actual tooltip
I assume you are sure that the tooltip actually comes from nm-applet -- and not from the Gnome3 NetworkManager integration (part of gnome-control-center). Can you specify which version of nm-applet you are using? Which distribution? Thank you.
I'm actually not sure, I couldn't find the translation string on any source file. I'm using Manjaro (ArchLinux based distro) and here are the versions: network-manager-applet 0.9.10.0-2 networkmanager 0.9.10.0-4
It is the tooltip of nm-applet. When a VPN connection was active, nm-applet took the VPN connection instead of the base one. Fix in jk/applet-tooltip-bgo737585.
yeah, that looks right
LGTM
