If, for example, a belt is connected to both the logistic and circuit networks, there is no way to see this at a glance. This can lead to unnecessary debugging as enabling the logistic network overrides settings in the circuit network.

Re: [0.16.25] Adding belt to network with the button breaks it.
I can confirm that belt stops, but this Not a Bug, at least not because belt is still stopped.
If you connect belt with wire ("circuit connection" page) and check it to connect to logistic network ("logistic connection" page) you will have belt with two setting pages at the same time, but they will not show at the same time - you have to use this small two buttons right to "fast transport belt" text to switch between them.
In your bug report, you unchecked "enable/disable" in "circtuit connection" page, but you still have "logistic connection" page with "connect" checked. In short: connecting to circuit network will NOT disable logistic connection - this is part where your bug report falls apart.
However, i would change meaning of this bug report:

Propably it wont be fixed before 0.17 gui update but who knows?Topic: "it is hard to spot if when belt is connected to logi network if also connected to circuit network"
If belt is connected to logi network and circuit network, gui will show circuit network but logi network page will be hidden till you press "logi network page" button - and then page with circuit connection will hide
what expected: logi network gui and circuit network should be shown side by side when a/circuit network connected, b/logi network "connect" is checked
possible fix: allow showing pages side by side, and show all pages that are relevant

Wow, yeah I never spotted that.
A simple fix would probably be to colour the buttons differently depending on if a connection is active (red) and connected (green).
