Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.10 r135

1. Go to System Settings > "Wi-Fi".
2. If Wi-Fi is off, turn it on.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the list.

What you see: "Connect to hidden network… >" with a chevron.

What you should see: "Connect to hidden network…" without a chevron.

When a task involves navigating a page stack by tapping a list item (like "Previous networks"), the list item should have a chevron and no ellipsis. When it involves navigating a page stack by tapping a row or grid of buttons (like a toolbar, or the System Settings main screen), it should use neither. In every *other* case where the task is likely to require further input, like here where it opens a dialog, the control should use an ellipsis and no chevron.

This should be documented in the design guidelines. But the toolkit should also have made it rather difficult to place the chevron in the list item when there wasn't any page stack page to go to.

This should be the same both in System Settings and in the first-run setup, bug 1378867. It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug 1377076.
