[Bug 1787867] [NEW] Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bluetooth left discoverable

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, when Bluetooth is on, the computer stays discoverable
which opens up unnecessary vulnerability surface. There should be a
separate UI switch for discoverability with auto timeout. Leaving
bluetooth on (using a Bluetooth mouse) should not leave the computer
always discoverable.

Current behavior does not match documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/bluetooth-visibility.html.en,
even without Bluetooth panel open, the computer is still discoverable.

** Affects: indicator-bluetooth (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
