Bluetooth questions

Are there known problems with Ubuntu 20.04 with regards to Bluetooth 
devices?

I recently purchased a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse, and connected the 
device to my computer via Bluetooth.  This is the first time I have done 
this with my computer.

The situation is that the device works fine for about a day.  The next 
morning, the computer does not respond to mouse movement or clicks. 
When I reboot the computer, it all start working properly again.

(The mouse also came with a USB receiver, which I have been able to make 
work, but that's a problem for another time.)

I checked syslog, and didn't find anything enlightening.

I followed instructions I found for Ubuntu 16, including reinstalling 
the software, and no change.

My reason for buying this mouse is my various logitech mice, after a 
long time of use, start double-clicking by themselves and misbehave when 
doing click-and-drag operations.  The new mouse allegedly has optical 
switches, which should not have this auto-double-click going forward.

(Yes, I still keep the original flaky mouse handy for when the new one 
stops working.  So far I've been able to avoid nasty power-downs or 
hardware resets.)
