My BT freezes up while I'm using it. It actually comes back to life if I put the laptop to sleep and wake it up, but to be fair I have a connect script in /etc/pm/sleep.d from when 16.04 was not waking my network up. If I leave the "About" dialog box open in blueman-manager, it does not lock up. I have disabled the BT script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d to see if that helped, it did not.

My current work around is to open up blueman-manager, open the about dialog and then just move them both to another workspace where they are out of the way.
