Description Cole Mickens 2015-06-19 06:26:02 UTC 
Step #1: Activate Wifi Hotspot

Step #2: Wait some amount of time (not enough for the auto refresh to fire)

Step #3: Open Wifi "Select Network". (Notice, the hotspot network is missing)

Step #4: Wait for it to appear.

Expected: The wireless list is constantly refreshing every few seconds when selecting a network.

Actual: Nothing. You have to close the window, wait for the refresh to fire and then open it again.

Workaround #1: Force refresh by "Turn Off" Wireless and then "Turn On". This will force a refresh.

Workaround #2: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/905/refresh-wifi-connections/
