lock screen does not instantly turn off the display

Description
When "lock screen" is selected from the pull down menu in the upper right corner, the monitors should be turned off instantly. In my case they remain active just with a black screen. After maybe a minute something turns them off.
Such "instant power down" allows the monitor with more than one cable attached to switch to another active source from another, unrelated system.
I think the xfce power manager may influence the behavior. Just checked its settings. It has a strange way to handle black screen/powersave mode/turn off, each one must be at least one minute apart. Anyway, I think the screensaver should force turn-off instantly, unless otherwise configured.
I run git.xfce.org#master on Leap 15.1.
