This seems to be "working as intended" for now and we're not 100% convinced we should change the behavior (whatever that is) for now.

Please upvote the main issue in case you are interested in improving this behavior :)

This is working the same for the new Exit Node selection feature: it stops selecting new networks as soon as you pick one of the Exit Nodes.
