Bug description

In Newtork Manger when switching between VPN A and VPN B, the list of the VPNs does not get automatically updated with the currenly active VPN, and it takes one more click to update it.

Steps to reproduce

Have 2 VPN Connections imported,

  1. click on VPN A to connect (the successful connection notification comes up)
  2. click on VPN B to connect (the successful connection notification comes up)
  3. now VPN B is connected but the dot showing the current connection is still pointing to VPN A

additional:

  1. clicking on the "VPN Connections" with the slider refreshes the list and shows the proper connection being active instead of disconnecting all VPNs.
Expected behavior

the dot showing the currently selected VPN should move to the newly connected VPN
