Public bug reported:

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.
