Selene, I think you may be seeing at least three separate issues, each
worthy of its own bug.

First, when you enter authentication details in the dialog, the dialog
should stay up to show progress, to offer you a "Cancel" button, and to
let you reauthenticate if the details were incorrect.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#wi-fi-authenticating> That it
doesn't do this results in the dialog going away then coming back again
for reauthentication.

Second, networks in the network menu are shown using things that look
and behave like clearable checkboxes, bug 1322497.

Third, when you cancel connection to a network it still shows up as
selected in the menu.

And possibly fourth, NetworkManager currently continuously tries to
connect to known networks whenever Wi-Fi is on. So it might be
continuously trying to rejoin a network even though you have previously
cancelled connection to it.
