Bug description

When I use blueman-manager, I find my bluetooth keyboard and connect it. And click trust. It connects to the computer. But it does not work and disconnects immediately. In the information I got:
Paired: yes
Trusted: yes
bonded: no (I installed bluetuitz after this phenomenon and see this)

If I do not click connect after finding the keyboard in blueman, but click pair. And then click connect. It works fine. No problem at all. In the information I got:
Paired: yes
Trusted: yes
bonded: yes
