WLAN hotspot often fails to start.

Just to make it clear: I understand that I cannot use WLAN and the hotspot at the same time.

Sometimes when I start the hotspot it works perfectly. It just starts in less than a second. But most often the indicator blinks for half a minute and then it works or not. If it fails to start it might work the next time. Strangely enough it seems to work better if I turn on, yes ON, WLAN before I start the hotspot. If WLAN is on when I start the hotspot it correctly turns WLAN off. Even more strange, sometimes the hotspot turns WLAN on if it was off from the beginning. It is like the hotspot logic can't determine the WLAN status as well as the indicators.

This bug has annoyed me since Jolla started to support the hotspot and it is still the same with Sailfish 2.0. Actually it is a bit worse with this latest revision. Before I could use the fast actions to control the connections but with this release it seems these fast keys live their own life.
