interesting report. this should not happen, and I cannot reproduce it.
Here is a screencast of what I do:

which seems to be working. maybe you are doing something else that
triggers the bug? do you do anything different from what you see in the
video?

The behaviour you are seeing is how we designed it. but your suggestion
is valuable for future re-designs of the network connection workflow.
