AC Power settings
SUMMARY
When the system is unlocked, the screen is being turned off according to the
setting for "When locked, turn off screen: x sec". This happens for On AC Power
and On Battery profiles.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Energy Savings, go to On AC Power. Make sure settings for Dim and Turn
off Screen are higher than one minute, at least. Make sure "After a period of
inactivity" is set to Do nothing.
2. Set "When locked, turn off screen" to something very low (I used 10 sec)
3. Do not lock the screen, wait for that number of seconds.
OBSERVED RESULT
All displays are turned off after the count in"When locked, turn off screen"
EXPECTED RESULT
The displays are not turned off, since the system is not locked

WORKAROUND
It can become a nuisance if your displays are constantly turning off without
the system being locked, if you pause interacting for a minute or less. In this
case, set that setting to a higher value.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I confirmed that changing the "When locked, turn off screen" settings on the On
Battery tab affected the behavior when the laptop was on battery.
The kernel correctly reports AC as online and the battery as charging
