Public bug reported:
In the Power Saving section of the Power tab of the Settings app, there
are two switches, one labelled "Wi-Fi" with subheading "Wi-Fi can be
turned off to save power" and the other labelled "Bluetooth" with
subheading "Bluetooth can be turned off to save power". On my machine,
the "Wi-Fi" switch is off and the "Bluetooth" switch is on. (Screenshot
attached.)
I do not know what these switches mean, and I do not know what will
change if I change their settings.
Does this mean
* yes Ubuntu is permitted to switch off your wifi to save power but it's not
permitted to switch off your Bluetooth, or
* it is permitted to switch off your Bluetooth but not permitted to switch off
your wifi, or
* your bluetooth is already switched off to save power but wifi is always on,
or
* wifi is already switched off to save power but bluetooth is always on, or
* something else entirely?
I am utterly confused.

Title:
Power Saving settings have incomprehensible meanings/labels for Wi-Fi
and Bluetooth
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the Power Saving section of the Power tab of the Settings app,
there are two switches, one labelled "Wi-Fi" with subheading "Wi-Fi
