Bug Description

The on/off switch for controlling whether to connect to a bluetooth device doesn't work.

I tried to use the control centre to connect to a bluetooth audio device. I switched bluetooth on, and several devices were detected. When selecting the device I wanted, the bluetooth settings correctly identified that it was already paired, but disconnected. The on/off switch for connecting to it was disabled. The on/off switch for that device in the system tray works normally, and the device connects properly.
