STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. assign a key to the turn off screen shortcut 2. press key 3. wait a few seconds 4. watch screen turn on again OBSERVED RESULT the screen turns on without you doing anything EXPECTED RESULT The screen would stay off until a key would be pressed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.19 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71 Qt Version: 5.15 1938279 1 nate 2020-06-19 01:21:53 +0000 Can confirm. 1961600 2 saulfautley 2020-09-30 13:26:36 +0000 Can also confirm. It was working fine until I reassigned the shortcut. Now no matter what key I assign my screens turn back on immediately. I don't suppose there's a fix planned anytime soon or a temporary workaround? I used this daily so it's become quite frustrating to not have this feature anymore. 1974670 3 justin.zobel 2020-11-12 22:49:56 +0000 Can confirm still an issue on 5.20.2 on KDE Neon User Edition. 1996432 4 saulfautley 2021-01-20 21:33:26 +0000 I found the culprit of this on my system -- Steam. As soon as I quit Steam the shortcut works perfectly.

An old, annoying known issue with Steam :( 2022337 6 onestone 2021-04-04 22:14:26 +0000 > I found the culprit of this on my system -- Steam. As soon as I quit Steam the shortcut works perfectly. I'm not running Steam, but the screen still turns back on after a few seconds (when using a Plasma/PowerDevil shortcut). On the other hand, if I use "xset dpms force off" to accomplish the same, the screen stays off until a key is pressed (or the mouse is moved). 2035972 7 till2.schaefer 2021-05-26 19:48:35 +0000 I am not using steam neither and also have this issue. I think the key release event is registered to wake up the screen again after the monitor was turned off with key press. When pressing key and holding it, the screen is turned off as expected, but as soon the key is released, it is turned on again. 2035975 8 till2.schaefer 2021-05-26 19:51:24 +0000 (for that reason i used to add a sleep 1 to my custom script for turning the monitor off. However, that solution is not really great because it is not working when pressing the key for more that a second and the screen is turned of only after a short delay) 2064168 9 till2.schaefer 2021-09-26 21:53:08 +0000 I can also reproduce this on wayland.

(On X11, about `xset dpms force off`, because the terminal takes a little time to process the instruction, you can have the screen stay off if you release Enter fast enough) 2249896 14 tilrnz 2023-09-01 01:05:18 +0000 *** Bug 462619 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2254798 15 denilsonsa 2023-09-22 11:33:52 +0000 Plasma 5.27 (released in February 2023) announced a new feature: “While on the lock screen, hit the Esc key to turn off the screen and save some power.” Unfortunately, it seems this feature never worked for some people, as bug 466344 shows. 2257342 16 elydgolden 2023-10-07 09:59:10 +0000 Can confirm on kubuntu 23.04 with plasma 5.27.4 2290868 17 jonathangeorgiou94 2024-02-21 23:09:17 +0000 I am experiencing this on Wayland on Fedora 39 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 QT Version: 5.15.12 Kernel version: 6.7.3-200.fc39x86_64 Graphics Platform: Wayland I get the issue both when assigning a shortcut through plasma settings and when running kscreen-doctor --dpms off, even if I add the reported sleep workaround. 2332588 18 xaver.hugl 2024-06-27 11:32:09 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480026 ***
