I get this in 15.04 as well, based on the description. When I close the lid, the external monitor initially turns off and then it turns straight back on again as the primary monitor, exactly as if I had turned off the internal monitor via the screen settings GUI instead of closing the lid.
If I've read the description correctly, perhaps the title of this bug report should say "Internal screen turned off..." instead of "External screen turned off..."? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398771 Title: External screen turned off instead of suspending on lid close Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For some time now my laptop did not suspend on lid close, I noticed recently that it actually only happened when I had my external screen connected, and what was actually happening is that the internal screen got disabled instead of the laptop going to sleep.
