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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the screen saver wakeup logic in the Terminal renderer. Look for how the window handles power messages and screen state transitions.
