Matt and mac, did this appear recently (as in since 2.27.5-0ubuntu1)?
Or did it appear earlier?

This is very inconvenient since I like to keep the lid closed and use an external monitor. Obviously "suspend", "hibernate", and "shutdown" are bad. "Blank screen" blanks BOTH screens, not just the laptop screen.
