SUMMARY

Usually the Bluetooth icon is always visible in the tray area.

After I restarted the bluetooth service with `systemctl restart bluetooth`, however, the Bluetooth icon disappeared from the tray area.
So I clicked on the "^"  (show hidden icons), and Bluetooth was in there; however, it doesn't work properly: even if a device automatically connects, it will show "no devices paired".

It's kind of as if the UI got "disconnected" from the service (besides "hiding" with the hidden icons for no reason).

Also I now see that in System Settings -> Bluetooth, it says "Bluetooth disabled" and the Enable button apparently does nothing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. restart the bluetooth service
2. try to use the Bluetooth widget

OBSERVED RESULT
see above

EXPECTED RESULT
should work

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 6.2.5 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27. (LTS), and 6.3 (non-LTS) or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 6.2.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
