I am pretty sure that a couple of years ago the gnome guys decided that the laptop should not suspend if an external monitor is plugged in (which was a change to the previous strategy). I think that by popular request this was reverted back to suspend (possibly only in Ubuntu, I don't know). I am sure there was a bug for this but I can't find it. Now it has apparently changed again. I can see that for some it makes sense to not suspend, but for those who use the laptop in a dock with both displays active it is annoying to have to use the menus to suspend. I would have thought it more appropriate to have the default stay as it has been for many years. Ideally there could be an additional option in the settings to allow a choice of lid closure actions when there are two displays. Currently the option is to suspend or not. It does not say "suspend, but only if there is no external display connected".
