Hi chris,

> What is a non-BR/EDR device?
Bluetooth Low Energy devices. My BT mouse for example works with BLE (using HOGP ( = HID over GATT) ).

> Is there a user-preference for auto-connect that this might override?
I would go so far and say it establishes what you expect. This change activates the autoconnect when pairing a device.


My understanding of this so far is the following:

Devices discovered by advertising (BLE devices) are not to be
autoconnected per default. If a device autoconnects was originally
decided in the service probing. This part has been reworked and the
check for autoconnecting BLE discovered devices got deleted. This change
addresses this issue now in the device pairing function. So when you
pair a BLE device you discovered by advertisement it also sets the
autoconnect flag explicitly. This reflects the original state before the
code change which introduced this.

I hope I could clear this up and not more confusing

  Bluetooth device does not reconnect after being paired

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * Bluetooth mouse does not reconnect after turning bluetooth off and
  on on the ubuntu machine after pairing the device.

   * If you forget the device and re-pair it, it works until the next
  bluetooth disconnect.

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Make sure the device is not already paired

   * Pair it, move the mouse. It should work.

   * Turn off bluetooth and turn it back on.

   * The device should reconnect when used.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The change modifies that each paired non BR/EDR device gets
  autoconnect set to true. This could lead to devices which were not
  autoconnecting before, to autoconnect now when they are re-paired.

  [ Other Info ]

   * This issue is already patched in questing and plucky

   * We were unable to reproduce the issue using jammy bluez version

   * This is a fix by including
  https://github.com/bluez/bluez/commit/39467578207889fd015775cbe81a3db9dd26abea
