Public bug reported: I have set all battery powered profiles to disable desktop effects. Normal performance profile has effects enabled. When I connect power plug the screen goes black. I just get white cursor which can be moved around. As soon as I disconnect power display returns to normal as effects get disabled. It also doesn't go black if effects are not enabled automatically (by modifying power profiles accordingly or disabling effects globally). When power is connected switching effects on and off works fine.
