GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616881
Moving mouse when the laptop lid is closed makes screen turn on again
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:14:12 UTC
Turning off the screen when closing the laptop lid seems to work OK now, but providing any input when the lid is closed cause the screen to unblank again. A good example is moving the mouse pointer.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-power-manager/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
