RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Filip Pokryvka 2021-07-19 16:20:23 UTC 
The same we see on RHEL8 now:
gnome-shell-3.32.2-34.el8.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.32.3-0.z.2.20e3975fd2.el8.x86_64

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1983735 +++

Created attachment 1803373 [details]
journal log of the machine (with NetworkManager trace logs enabled)

Description of problem:
When disconnecting from Wi-Fi by removing NetworkManager profile (via `nmcli con delete ...` or "forget connection" in gnome-control-center), System Menu in GNOME shell states "Wi-Fi not connected", however in few seconds System mMenu shows Wi-Fi as connected again. NetworkManager did not activate the profile and no Wi-Fi profile is shown as "Connected" in gnome-control-center either.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-40.2-1.el9.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.33.1-28790.copr.34b499f1ef.fc34

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to Wi-Fi Network, check Wi-Fi SSID is visible in System Menu
2. Disconnect from Wi-Fi Network (forget connection in gnome-control-center)
3. Open System Menu

Actual results:
In few seconds old Wi-Fi name shows up

Expected results:
"Wi-Fi not connected" should stay there

Additional info:
Even in "Select Network" dialog the connection seems active, even when it is not.

Our gnome-shell gating tests started to fail now because of this issue.
