Problems with power button instant lock when using "trusted devices" feature

Im having an issue with locking my phone's screen. I have the option checked to instantly lock the phone when the power button is pressed. I need it to work this way so the phone is locked as soon as press the power button and put the phone in my pocket.

Well when i enabled the "trusted devices" feature the screen no longer locks instantly when i press the power button. This is causing my phone to come on in my pocket frequently.

I dont get it. The trusted devices feature is simply supposed to bypass my pattern lock when my Pebble Watch is connected. It is not supposed to stop the phone from locking the screen at all.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am having the opposite problem, but maybe I don't understand the settings. I have a pattern password on my device, I have a bluetooth usb in my desktop at home and I have it listed as a trusted device in my BT settings on the phone. When I hit the power button the screen locks but when I go to wake the device (sitting right at my computer the whole time) I get the pattern password screen. I thought it was supposed to bypass that if I set my PC as a trusted device. Any ideas?
