Description
When focus is in the Terminal and screen saver kicks in the screen turns black. Then when I move the mouse the screen shows and immediately goes black again. This continues until I move the mouse pointer outside of Terminal window or I click the mouse. This is not happening when focus is outside of Terminal window when screen saver kicks in. In that case wakeup works as expected.
Edit: I incorrectly used term "screen saver". This is related to power saver "screen off" state. Fully reproducible. Must allow screen to stay in the off state for a few seconds to repro.
Windows 18941.rs_prerelease.190713-1700.
Dell XPS 13 9343

Reproduce the issue on Windows using the reported Dell XPS 13 setup: focus Terminal, let the power saver turn the screen off for several seconds, then move the mouse. Trace the screen-wakeup path and verify that the display remains on after wakeup while Terminal has focus.
