Network Manager reports "connecting" state even when connected

Installing and configuring network manager was a surprisingly painless process. It works completely fine except for an interesting niggle.

After connecting to my wifi network, I am able to access the network, I have internet, and everything appears to be connected. However, network manager is reporting that it is still trying to connect. In the top right hand corner of my gnome shell, there is a wifi icon with three dots on top of it. Also the network manager dialog displays "Connecting..." when WiFi is selected.

I'm not really sure how to debug this issue.

Here's ip addr, seems nominal:

matt@matt-laptop:$ ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ec:f4:bb:7d:10:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 54:35:30:8e:dd:d3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.12/16 brd 10.0.255.255 scope global wlp2s0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::5635:30ff:fe8e:ddd3/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Here's what journalctl looks like when I enable wifi:
