Wow. That's a really confusing interface. I had assumed that "preferences" would be behavior changes for the Bluetooth-Manager-Applet, not settings for all things bluetooth related. And I never would have thought to look under "services" to connect to a mouse. Is there some technical limitation that prevents the applet from working the way myself and many others thought it did: just present a list of detected bluetooth devices and when told to connect, do the appropriate thing for the type of device? -- "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" - Ralph Waldo Emerson -- connect to bluetooth mouse fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
