I can confirm this with gnome-control-center-43~beta-1.fc37.x86_64. Not only "Screen Blank" changes are ignored, "Power Button Behavior" changes are ignored as well.

@knaraian Can you please file a bug upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues and link it here? Thanks!

Comment 3 Kamil Páral 2022-08-16 10:04:14 UTC
There is a workaround - you can set "Blank Screen Delay" from Privacy -> Screen, and that change is remembered. There seems to be no workaround for "Power Button Behavior", though.

 Standard operation.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2022-08-22 17:23:57 UTC
This is already accepted as a Final blocker, which is the point at which we block on things like this. There is no relevant criterion at Beta.

Is it compulsory for me to open gnome ticket?

Nothing is compulsory for you in Fedora, so I don't really understand the question. But if you want to see it fixed, you need to report it to GNOME developers to their upstream tracker, they (mostly) don't follow Fedora bugs. So the best approach is to report it upstream, and if you want to propose it as a Fedora release blocker, then make a very short Bugzilla report here (just a link to the upstream ticket) a use it to propose the blocker.

But never mind, as this was accepted as a blocker, I wanted to report it upstream myself, and found the issue already present there. No further action needed.

Thanks a lot. Any way thank you for letting me know how gnome bug tracker helps in resolving the issue. But I thought, the developer would have more stronger presence to the Gnome bugs tracker. Any how, I will try to escalate gnome issues to gnome bugs tracker, from next on..

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2022-08-30 15:51:36 UTC
Proposing as a Beta FE too, as this is annoying and affects live boot and first boot so can't be fixed fully with an update.

Technically speaking, these really were two separate bugs - they're just *similar*. But upstream decided to combine them so I guess we can too. :D
