   Found why the #Bluetooth behavior in #GNOME was so confusing to me over the years: while my computer (and the gnome-bluetooth backend) supports connecting & pairing multiple devices at once, it turns out that #BlueZ sometimes reports some devices as disconnected when reactivating Bluetooth… so I end up accidentally disconnecting a device when I think it is not already connected :blobpats:

   …as discovered in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8692, it turns out to be a BlueZ issue… but BlueZ has no bug tracker 🫠

     @nekohayo There are many annoying things with BT in Gnome, unfortunately :( Can't remember on/off state across sessions, for example. I've often had issues connecting things, and recently I can't connect my PS4 controllers at all. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/issues/1142

     If we rely on BlueZ, and they don't have an issue tracker, I hope someone has some kind of contact with the devs at least 😅
