Bug Description

I am using Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish on Raspberry Pi 4, and noticed a strange behaviour of the screen saver.

In settings -> energy -> power saving options I selected Screen Blank after 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the screen goes blank, the monitor says No Signal and turns off, but a few seconds after it turns on again, showing a completely black screen.

The desired behaviour here is that Ubuntu sends no signal to the monitor, so the monitor goes into low-consumption mode. But this is not happening, the monitor is on and showing a black screen.

I wonder how to solve this problem, especially given the current energy situation in Europe.
