Also,  not only is "Discoverable" left on,  "Discovery" is left on.  If
someone goes to Bluetooth Settings, Discovery is turned on (started) and
can only be turned off (stopped) by disconnecting BT adapter or reseting
bluetooth.service.   This leads to hundreds of detected devices per
minute in a public space or office building.

So as per comments above, Discovery should only be on when the bluetooth
settings are opened.

Title:
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS bluetooth left discoverable

Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
