Your right, it appears to only happen when I'm logged in. If I boot cold, at the login screen I can close and open the laptop lid as much as I want and the screen will instantly turn off (no fade), which is what I expect to happen.
What information can I provide to fix this issue on my system and other systems it may happen on?

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running a new install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on a Dell Rugged Extreme 7414. I only changed in Power Settings: When plugged in > When lid is close = Do Nothing Brightness & Lock Settings were not changed; Lock Screen after: Screen turns off If I close the laptop lid while logged in at the Unity Desktop, the screen will fade to black and turn off, which I think is normal and expected. Then when I open the lid I get the login screen, which I also expect. Now, if I don't login and just close the lid, the screen does not fade to black nor turn off. I would expect the screen to fade to black and turn off also from the login screen. This appears to be a small issue, at least on my system. If anyone needs specific information about the system, please ask.
