The Ubuntu bug says, the problem is solved upstream in NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.3. openSUSE-15.1: NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.2 openSUSE-15.2: NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.10 So at least in openSUSE-15.2 the problem will probably be fixed. Nevertheless, a NetworkManager-openvpn patch for openSUSE-15.1 might be nice.
