Hi, STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. here's my dual monitor setup: laptop on the side of my desk, 24" in front of me. When I dock my laptop I very rarely rely on its screen because I don't multi-task that much. 2. Still, I have chosen the "Extend to left" option in the Display configuration widget for the rare occasions where I need some content here and some content there. 3. the bug arises when I close the laptop lid. OBSERVED RESULT Windows that were on the laptop screen stay there, and the even the backlight won't turn off (I can barely see it through the tiny opening between the palm rest and the lid itself. The screen is behaving 100% as if the lid was still wide open. EXPECTED RESULT Plasma should switch the laptop screen off. This would/should let it revert to a single-display configuration (external only), which is what the user expects. No orphan windows on a screen you cannot see the content of, plus no unnecessary battery drain due to keeping the light on. I dunno if this is a Plasma or a kernel issue, but I'd happily provide additional info that may be needed for investigation. Thanks a bunch in advance! :) P.S. may I add that my setting for "When laptop lid is closed" is set to "Turn off screen" and the checkbox for "Even when an external monitor is connected" is UNchecked. I thought it could come from that, so I tried enabling it, but still the problem remains. Plus TBH that checkbox IMO should NOT be there when the user selects "Turn off screen" as a lid close action, I think it's just confusing. Of course if you want your internal screen to turn off when closing the lid, you want it to turn off neither when there's no other screen connected (e.g. for power saving reasons while running some long-running task that doesn't need your attention, like an OS update), nor when there is (because what's the point of keeping it on when you can't interact with it?)

Hmm, cannot reproduce the issue with those exact settings. When I close the lid, the laptop's screen turns off as expected and its windows move to the external screen. Can you attach the output of `kscreen-doctor -o` once you close the lid and the laptop display inappropriately remains on.

The outputs are identical, interesting. So KScreen isn't disabling the laptop screen. Does it work if you change the setting in powerdevil for what to do when the list is closed to "Sleep"?
