Hi !

If I lock my Mac Mini, and then hit the power button once to put the computer to sleep, it works. If now I touch the keyboard once, the computer comes back on, but goes back to sleep in a minute if I do not do anything else.
If I do not lock the computer, and do the same, the computer stays on.

Is this an OS X feature or a bug ? Or is it due to my settings somehow? Can someone try and verify that they see the same thing happening.

My energy saver preferences are set to Never for sleep.

I found this problem trying a wake on lan when the mini was locked and found that it goes back to sleep immediately. I see the same behavior touching the keyboard.
Is there anyway to have the Mac respect the engery saver preferences, once it is locked?
