WiFi not turning off

Something new - under Wifi Settings/Advanced - I have Wi-Fi set to sleep when display is off..

This doesn't seem to be the case. My WiFi is Always on.

I would imagine that the icon would disappear like it does when WiFi is turned off.. but when the phone is asleep and then wakes up, the WiFi connection is still there.

Anything I can try to fix this? I have tried changing the WiFi sleep policy to the other 2, then changing it back to display power - didn't work.

I did have to reboot the phone last night because I couldn't get WiFi to turn off, but I don't have a problem today with turning it on or off.. just won't go to "sleep"
