If you click "Off" or whatever for the connection, it *is* disconnected.
What may happen though is that it re-connects if it's set to connect
automatically. What you need to be looking at is likely the icon in
Shell or in Unity to tell whether something is connected or not; but in
any case if the connection is disconnected, it's not going to be used
for the default route (and it shouldn't normally get autoconnected after
that, or at least it doesn't with nm-applet).

Regardless, if you have reason to believe there's still an issue, don't
hesitate to reopen by setting this bug report to "New". It would help if
you could make sure you reproduce the issue, then provide the output of
'ip route list'. Note that any other connections may also be on and
taking the default gateway, *all* wired connections will keep priority,
in this case it may be eth0 as much as eth1.
