**Issue**
Can't switch wireless networks/routers via network manager applet

**Steps to reproduce**
Connect to wireless network number 1. Now try to connect to wireless network number 2 (or 3, 4, etc.). Doesn't work. Sometimes not even after disconnecting (disabling) network number 1, just won't connect to second.

**Expected behaviour**
Normal. Like in Network Manager itself. Or in Mint 19.3 applet

**Other information**
Sometimes, after removing USB wireless adapter (TP-Link TL-WN7200ND) and reinserting, network manager asks for password, although it's the same, known, saved network/router. It was not like this in Mint 19.3

**Configuration info, if applicable**
If this bug report is related to an Applet, Desklet or Extension, please paste (or use a pastebin service) the offending extension's settings, if it has any.  You can obtain this by opening its configuration, clicking the 'hamburger' button in the upper-right corner of the window, and selecting "Export to a file". **Please be sure to review the contents and remove any personal data it may contain.**

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. I'm able to switch to any given wireless network by way of the network applet.

Good for you, I'm too sometimes, but sometimes not, need to re-enable wireless to do that. No problems with auto connecting, though. Also have this problem https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9564 and the random width resize of the network manager applet. I understand the height depends on available networks, but width...also, they're (SSIDs) not sorted by signal strength nor name, nothing remotely logical C'mon, looks like some kids did it for homework
