confirm this is still happening
when settings panel is not open > device is visible on bluetooth
I did pair a keyboard and a mouse before.. later purchased a usb receiver because pairing took a few seconds after resume from standby.. is it possible the system is looking for those accessories? 

anyway.. I just deleted the devices and the ubuntu laptop is still
visible on my friend's laptop under "available devices" - and we never
did pair our devices.

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS with Gnome 3.36.8

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.
