Public bug reported: In XFCE's power management settings, there are two options for what to do when you close the lid of the laptop. On battery, and for when on AC power.
Problem is, while on AC, it's still using the "on battery" setting, and never actually uses the on AC power setting. For example, my settings are as follows: On Battery: Suspend On AC Power: Switch off display When I close the laptop while plugged into the charger, it still goes to sleep and suspends. If I however change the on battery status to Switch off display, then closing the lid does just that, doesn't suspend, and stays on with the display switched off, despite it being plugged into the power cord. I have verified that Xfce knows the charger is plugged in as the battery icon shows the lightning bolt when it should.
