Title:
  Fn key to blank screen also locks screen (i.e. logs out)

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This was different in Ubuntu 18.04 (and Windows). There it just turns
  off the screen and when you move your mouse again, there is no need to
  login. I'm using this functionality a lot because I don't use
  automatic blank screen - I prefer controlling that manually. Not sure
  what package controls that, possibly a udev rule?

  (PS: I was thinking about whether this is actually a bug or a feature
  change. But I reached the conclusion that it actually *is* a bug
  because turning off the screen and locking the OS are two independent
  actions - you can also lock the OS without locking the screen and the
  fn key clearly refers to the screen.)
