Just checked in 20.04, with a connected Bluetooth device, and my system
is no more automatically discoverable. It's discoverable only when the
Bluetooth Settings panel is 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.
