Turning off wifi in Ubuntu 18.04 turns on aeroplane mode
Whenever I turn off wifi, aeroplane mode is turned on automatically .
Is this a bug in Ubuntu 18.04?
Output of rfkill list after wifi is turned off:
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
2: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes

'Aeroplane mode' just suspends radio-frequency signal transmission by the device, and thus disables Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
If you already had Bluetooth disabled, turning off Wi-Fi disables all radio-frequency signal transmission devices of your system (presuming there are no other such device, e.g. telephony present). So Ubuntu notifies you of that fact by showing the aeroplane mode symbol. I don't see a problem there.
However, if Bluetooth is turned on and still turning off Wi-Fi triggers aeroplane mode and disables Bluetooth along the way, then it would be a bug.

Don't get it... I presumed you don't have any other radio-frequency signal transmitting devices like telephony as they're uncommon in a computing system, but then again I don't know what exactly your system consists of.
