Screenshot of incorrect bluetooth menu status indicator.

After successfully connecting to a bluetooth audio adapter, the bluetooth indicator in the top-right menu on gnome shows that bluetooth is 'Off', even though the sub-menu indicates it's actually on by providing a 'Turn Off' item.

See attached screenshot of menu and bluetooth applet.

Extra details:
Gnome 3.22.1, Fedora 25.

Sounds like the race condition from bug #782530. The effect is that gnome-shell thinks the adapter is not powered up (on the bluetooth level). The option to disable bluetooth is visible because the bluetooth rfkill is not enabled.
