Bug Description
I have a Logitech BT Adapter for playing audio.
I am unable to (permanently) disconnect from the device without removing it. This is, presumably, the opposite problem to #1331642 (which exists for good reason). Since the device is paired, it auto-reconnects (which is good) instead of following preferences (which is bad).
Current behavior:
* If the device is paired, it connects.
* Turning the connection off (without unpairing) causes the device to disconnect, then reconnect.
Desired behavior (option 1, clean UI):
* If I turn the connection off, it should stay off
* If I turn it on, it should stay on
* If (and only if) the connection has not been explicitly turned off, it should reconnect if not connected
Desired behavior (option 2, fairly clean UI, plus configurability to avoid annoyance situations):
* In the individual device dialog, devices would have a 'Reconnect Automatically' option, on by default, below the 'Connection' switch.
* If I turn the connection off, it should stay off.
* If I turn it on, it should attempt to connect.
* If 'Reconnect automatically" is checked, and I have not explicitly turned the device off, it should consistently attempt to reconnect at the appropriate times as normal.
Unpairing, in case that is suggested, is not a reasonable solution. This is a regularly used device (house bluetooth speakers) that takes intermittent use. This behavior is a regression from previous versions of Ubuntu (19.10 and earlier) which worked as described -- Switching the connection off stayed off until explicitly reconnected.
