I'll test the scaling issue again, as I'm now unable to replicate the same scenario I had last week when opening this report.
To focus on the suspend issue, I would echo the case that was made to me: when it comes to what many users will define as expected behavior they're going to be looking at Windows and macOS as well. On Windows the default behavior for lid close is to put the laptop into suspend, even if it is connected to external displays. This behavior has to be manually overridden. Similarly, on macOS the default behavior on lid close is also to enter suspend as well. The one notable change is that for a brief window of time, keyboard and mouse movements will wake the laptop on the connected displays. All of that said, I think if we just exposed that setting in the GUI somewhere as you mentioned, that would be a perfect compromise. Unfortunately in my case changing that setting has not changed the behavior I'm seeing. I still get the behavior of the internal display shutting off but the laptop remaining active. This is happening with the laptop directly connected via on-board HDMI as well, so my assumption that it was DisplayLink related may be a red herring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2075983 Title: Strange behaviors with external displays over Displaylink To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/2075983/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
