Bug ID: 507246
Summary: Screen is only turned off after the configured
timeout, when it has been locked automatically
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.3.3
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Power management & brightness

Timeout selector for turning off the screen is disabled
SUMMARY
This might also be two more or less separate issues:
1. In System Settings, the timeout selector for turning off a locked screen is
disabled, when an unlocked screen shall not be turned off.
2. When the screen is locked manually, the timeout for an unlocked screen is
used to turn off the screen.
This creates one problem:
The screen can not be locked AND be turned off manually.
Either you have to set a short timeout for the unlocked screen, then the screen
will be turned off after this timeout, but is not locked, which seems
dangerous.
Or you have to set a very long timeout for the unlocked screen, which is longer
than any time the screen could be used in a session, but then the screen does
not turn off when it is locked.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Enter System → Power Management → On AC Power, On Battery, On Low Battery
3. In each mode, set screen turn off timeout to “never” and “when locked: 1
minute”
4. Lock the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The button for “when locked: 1 minute“ is disabled, which makes it difficult
to do this configuration.
2. The screen is not turned off 1 minute after locking it.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. The button for “when locked: 1 minute” is usable.
2. The configured timeout is actually used.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Bug 486986 reads like the timeout selection boxes for locked and unlocked
screen are swapped.
That doesn’t work either, because it is not possible to select “when locked:
never”.
I have also confirmed that the timeout for unlocked screen is indeed applied
for an unlocked screen.
