SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Wayland session
2. Use display that automatically disconnects it output when no signal is detected
3. Leave system idle and wait 10 minutes for it to try to dim screens

OBSERVED RESULT

Screens turn off for a brief moment, but then immediately light up again. Process repeats every 10 minutes.
This is due to screen 'disconnecting' itself from graphics card output. On Windows you could hear 'device disconnected' sound when screen goes dark. There's no way do disable this behavior in Monitor menu.

EXPECTED RESULT

Screens should stay dark when there's no user input

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
