Then this is a bug of design/UX. 1) Why is there an option ON/OFF in the tray icon's dropdown if you can only use OFF? 2) Also, why does it say "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" in Bluetooth settings window – when it _only_ shows status when it's on (shows nothing when it's off)? 3) I often turn bluetooth on and off (almost daily), so it's quite inconvenient to have to go to bluetooth settings every time I want it back on (I have to use two different locations to do the same action: switch the state of my bluetooth adapter)
My proposal: in "Bluetooth" settings window replace the "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" with a dropdown: "Always show Bluetooth status in the menu bar", "Show when on", "Don't show in menu bar". How do I reach someone responsible for this particular UX design? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285951 Title: bluetooth indicator disappears after turning off bluetooth Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Although bug 1126108 is marked as "Fix released", my indicator- bluetooth icon disappears after I use it to turn bluetooth off.
