[Bug 737615] Re: Can't save changes in "Edit Connections..." for Wi-Fi networks to which one doesn't have the password

I'm still getting this issue even on Ubuntu 14.10.
It's sickening that the Ubuntu team can't even keep track enough of these networking errors that could be considered by some as a security risk.
Please fix.

Title:
  Can't save changes in "Edit Connections..." for Wi-Fi networks to
  which one doesn't have the password

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Unknown
Status in NetworkManager:
  Unknown
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Right-click on Network Manager's tray icon
  2) select "edit connections"
  3) go to the "wireless" tab
  4) select any connection in the list, except the one you are currently connected to
  5) Click "Edit"
  5) Change some settings

  Expected: there should be some way to save those changes

  Observed: the "Apply" button is greyed out. There is no "Save" button.
  If you hit Cancel, obviously the changes are discarded.

  If you edit the network you are connected to, the Apply button works,
  but why on earth are'n you allowed to save changes to a network you
  are not connected to? And if there was a reason why you can't, then
  why are you allowed to edit in the first place?
