Description Dmitry Sharshakov 2022-09-25 12:00:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I use Wacom Intuos BT M tablet to either interact with the desktop, Krita or Xournal++ my computer keeps turning the screen off after 1 minute timeout I specified. Tablet events do not count as activity unlike mouse movements, which prevent sleep.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable "Manually block sleep and screen locking"
2. Verify that while you use mouse screen stays on
3. Do nothing for a timeout you set in System Settings, observe screen locking
4. Unlock
5. Try the same while drawing in Krita with Wacom
6. See that screen locks, tablet events didn't prevent locking

OBSERVED RESULT
Screen locks while drawing

EXPECTED RESULT
Screen stays unlocked while drawing, as it's user activity
