Bug Description

Hello, I'm using "Elementary OS 5.0 Juno, based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, Linux 4.15.0-60-generic, Gtk+ 3.22.30".
Since the beginning of the week (after a os update), the function key I was using to turn the screen black is now locking my session.
My PC is an Asus UX31A notebook and here is the keyboard (https://lebonclavier.fr/56139-thickbox/Clavier-Plasturgie-ASUS-Zenbook-UX32L-UX32LA-UX32LN-Original-Francais-Azerty.jpg). Using Fn + F7 was just turning off the screen and turning on it when using Fn + F7 again. Now it's locking the session and I have to type my password to unlock witch is not I want.

When searching a solution on Google, I only found the "xset dpms force off" command but it doesn't do what I need because it goes On back when moving the mouse or pressing a key.

Is there a solution to get back the previous shortcut ?

Also, the System Parameters > Security & Confidentiality > Locking > "Lock when turning off the screen" option is disabled but it doesn't seems to change anything, even after reboot.

Thank you if you can correct this,
With kindest regards,
Grégoire Boux
