Yes it appears that the default behaviour is to suspend when the lid is
closed. And most surprisingly, Settings (3.24 at least) provides no
option to change that.
WORKAROUND:
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
then in gnome-tweak-tool > Power > Suspend when laptop lid is closed = OFF

System goes to sleep with lid closed after login

Bug description:
Using a laptop with lid closed and an external monitor, you can boot.
Bios will show on the external monitor, as well as gdm when boot is finished.
You can then choose a user and type in your password, which is accepted.
But then, system goes to sleep (as the lid is cloesd I guess).
Going out of sleep with the power button shows the gnome shell.
