[Bug 1405627] [NEW] Suspending while a program is full-screen

 

Public bug reported:

It would be really useful if you could at least set it so that Ubuntu
does not suspend in a certain amount of time whilst an application is
full-screen. As I have found this very annoying when streaming, because
even though the program is full-screen and I am watching something, the
computer thinks that there is no activity and then goes to sleep.

I understand that not all may want it so that it does not suspend and go to sleep when an application is full-screen, but at least to have an option to make it register that an application is full screen and therefore not to go to sleep.
You could also be allowed to configure for which applications Ubuntu would not go to sleep for when they are full-screen.
