Description tguen 2021-02-19 09:20:59 UTC

SUMMARY
The Bluetooth menu in the system tray has a checkbox in the top left corner. When clicked, it will disable Bluetooth, but the checkbox is also disabled so that it can't be used to re-enable Bluetooth. There is an "Enable Bluetooth" button in the center of the menu, but this should not be needed.

Can you attach a screenshot or a screen recording please? In Plasma 5.21, the whole row with the checkbox on it is supposed to disappear when Bluetooth is disabled. It does for me.

It doesn't disappear for me. If the checkbox is not meant to be used to enable Bluetooth, it is functionally a button and should probably be replaced with one. Either way, I'd prefer if I could enable Bluetooth by clicking in the same place I did to disable it.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-02-19 22:19:05 UTC

Well now I'm confused because it doesn't look like that for me in Plasma 5.21. :(

Comment 4 Konrad Materka 2021-02-28 19:37:22 UTC

Nate, are you sure? I just checked on latest git version and it looks for me exactly the same as on the screenshot.

Maybe you don't have any Bluetooth adapters?

visible: btManager.adapters.length > 0
enabled: !btManager.bluetoothBlocked

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2021-02-28 21:17:32 UTC

Ohh right, my computer reports "Bluetooth is turned off" as "there are no Bluetooth adapters." I forgot about that.
