[Bug 841569] Re: Network Manager fills in ssid with a random symbol

 

** Description changed:

- Steps to replicate: 
- 1. Select a wireless ssid starting with three numbers in the front to connect to in the nm-applet menu.
+ Steps to replicate:
+ 1. Connect to an SSID with ONLY three numbers to connect to in the nm-applet menu.
  2. Input password, wait for it to fail.
  3. Note the new ssid it asks for is now a unicode symbol.

  The SSID should be the SSID, dangit! :p
  
  Workaround: rename the SSID in the Network Connections manually and set
  it to automatically connect.
  
  The symbol is consistent with the SSID put into unicode. Example, 323 as
  an ssid would be U+323 in unicode. This seems like an escape failure in
  naming the ssid. The SSID code is consistent with the settings in the
  menu.
