Bug Description
When the screen of my laptop (Thinkpad E480) is supposed to turn off (because of inactivity or when actively locking screen), the screen dims, turns off for a second and then turns back on while remaining dimmed. I can see the backlight of the screen and the cursor.
This bug is only present when using a wayland-session regardless of my settings. It also happens with a fresh user account. Additionally, I tested with the 5.8 and 5.12 kernels with the same result.
