Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

This issue occurs on Ubuntu Gutsy

System->Administration->Network Settings > Wireless Connection > Properties-> Network name (ESSID)

The dropdown lists the available networks with the corresponding connection strength. There is a problem with the display of the list. The text with the network name overlaps with the strength percentage.

Thanks for your answer to my report. The problem doesn't interfere with the function of the menu, but it is mangled, with Network name field overlapping the connection strength display. I attached a screen shot of the Network Setting application with the offending wireless connection window.

This is bug is not actually about network-manager but rather network-admin which is part of gnome-system-tools. I have changed the package accordingly. Thanks again for reporting this!

Correct. The interface for the Wireless connection setup changed significantly since the first report. The behavior is no present in newer version of Ubuntu.
