STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a bootable USB drive
2. Tick "bootable" and "bios-grub" 
3. save
4. unselect "bios-grub"
5. save
6. boot into it

OBSERVED RESULT
I had this on a failed Tails install, which only worked through Rufus.
Additionally not not booting, it kept booting into grub, although I had disabled it twice and saved in between.

EXPECTED RESULT
Normal select / deselect behavior.

Comment 1 Andrius Štikonas 2022-02-23 20:04:11 UTC 
Can you please explain a bit more what you were doing. I don't think partition manager has capability of creating bootable USB drives.

Did you create USB drive with some other program and then edited partition flags with partitionmanager?
