Found why the #Bluetooth behavior in #GNOME was so confusing to me over the years: while my computer (and the gnome-bluetooth backend) supports connecting & pairing multiple devices at once, it turns out that #BlueZ sometimes reports some devices as disconnected when reactivating Bluetooth… so I end up accidentally disconnecting a device when I think it is not already connected

…as discovered in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/8692, it turns out to be a BlueZ issue… but BlueZ has no bug tracker 🫠
