Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1438

Basic Infos

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch / Release: v2.0.11-beta
Esp8266 / Esp32: ESP32
Hardware: M5 Stack Core 1
Core Version: 2.4.0, staging

Description

When being connected to a WiFi and then loosing the access point. Then reopening the captive portal and connecting wifi causes only 2 textboxes to appear and the scan sync is not started and the other wifi signals we could connect to are not shown.

Would it be possible to show all the possible wifi signals in this case as well, or have it be an option that could be enabled via. a boolean flag and a set method.

OnDemand and non blocking

Got any serial logs by chance?

There isn't any error so no not really.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug, because it seems like if you click the configure wifi button the wifi_no_scan callback is called. That's why I meant it more as a feature request.

Because in my opionion it would make more sense to also show all available networks even if you were already connected to one and are now disconnected from it or to make it settable via a boolean flag.

Yeah sounds like a bug in non blocking, let me test it
