SUMMARY If you try to search for device to pair a new one then you will bloat your known device list with unwanted devices (e.g. neighbour's TV, temperature sensors, etc). It means whenever you need to add a new device you then should to clean up your list from garbage that wasn't added manually. This wasn't there before and probably was introduced somewhere in 5.17 or maybe earlier. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to System Settings > Bluetooth 2. Press "+" in device window 3. Wait for scan to complete (or at least show any device) 4. Press "Cancel" or Pair with device OBSERVED RESULT There are many unwanted results in "Devices" list. EXPECTED RESULT Not having devices that you didn't pair with in "Devices" list.

Git commit b4ba0dae5c4f3a15c180b35aa5f96263b7843c2a by Nicolas Fella. Committed on 07/12/2020 at 19:37. Pushed by nicolasfella into branch 'master'. Show only paired devices in KCM and applet Currently only paired/known devices are shown initially. Once the user starts the wizard we enter discover mode and all newly found devices are added to the model and thus the applet and KCM. When the KCM is closed and opened again only the paired devices. To avoid this filter out unpaired devices in the ProxyModel that is used by the applet and KCM.
