Title:
  Ubuntu automatically suspends the laptop for the background user when
  switching back to it from the foreground user.

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  To reproduce:

  1. Install Ubuntu 18.04 on a laptop
  2. Create two user accounts
  3. Login to the first account and switch to the second account
  4. Disconnect the power plug and work (while on the battery) from one (or the 
other) account for some time (more than 20 minutes which is default according 
to the "gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-battery-timeout" CLI command)
  5. When switching a user back to the other account, it will automatically 
suspend the laptop.

  Workaround:

  For each(!) user disable "Automatic suspend" in the Power settings or same 
with the CLI command:
  gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power 
sleep-inactive-battery-type 'nothing'

  Bug?

  I think it is as having the multiuser session, switching back to the
  background user it should not immediately force the laptop sleep due
  to the background user inactivity.

  How to solve it?

  gnome-settings-daemon should probably not take into account the
  inactivity timer (or rather reset it) when there are other foreground
  users are using Ubuntu.
