Public bug reported: Inactive laptop screen fades to blank, then immediately brightens again showing the login screen, and stays lit.
This happens whether the laptop if charging or running on battery. The problem occurs with both the gnome screensaver package installed and with xscreensaver. Indicators in the status bar in addition to the default ones include Classic Menu indicator Dropbox indicator System Load indicator (I have been running the same set of indicators on a different, 14.04, laptop without them interfering with screen blanking behavior) Charging with the screen lit seems very slow and discharge seems fast, but this is a new laptop that came with 16.04 installed, so I don't really have a basis for comparison. I have not installed TLP on this laptop.
