[Bug 1378177] [NEW] "Turn screen off when invactive" timeout doesn't work

 

Public bug reported:

I left my laptop open and running tonight when away. When I returned 1.5
hours later, my screen was still on, all black except for a white mouse
pointer.

I locked the screen with the windows+L combo and walked away when the
lock screen displayed properly.

The "Brightness & Lock" section of the control panel shows "Turn screen
off when inactive for: 5 minutes". Lock is turned on, "Lock screen
after: 5 minutes", and "Require my password when waking from suspend".

I didn't suspend, and I manually locked before leaving.

Thanks
