Bug Description
Whenever the WiFi feature is turned off after usage,the system automatically goes to Airplane mode.If the user turns on the WiFi again by selecting the option Select Network in WiFi menu bar then a dialog box is displayed with the option of TURN OFF THE AIRPLANE MODE.After clicking the option, the Bluetooth automatically gets TURN ON without users willing(Even though not required).Or if continue with turning on the WiFi ,another dialog box appears with the option of TURN ON WiFi. After clicking this option ,the system will search for WiFi networks. Once the desired network is selected the WiFi starts working. After this if the user check the Bluetooth, it gets started automatically with use.This may lead to quick battery drainage.
In short, the Bluetooth gets automatically started even if not required after turning the airplane mode OFF. Please solve this bug.

Confirmed. I think the problem is that "airplane mode" doesn't really exist. It's just the state in which all radios (reported by 'rfkill') are set to soft blocked.
Yeah, gnome-shell ideally should be doing better here. Inverting airplane mode is a mistake. It should only be enabling wifi.
