Public bug reported: In Settings -> Power under the "Power Saving" section, there are the following two on/off slider options:
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi can be turned off to save power. Bluetooth Bluetooth can be turned off to save power. Rather than controlling something to do with power-saving, eg. when battery is low or the system is inactive, these appear to immediately turn off wifi, and bluetooth, respectively, when the machine is a laptop and is unplugged. Instead, they should control something more useful, or be relabeled.
