Bug Description

I tried to set my laptop not to suspend when closing the lid, I want it to download some files and not have the lid open, but it seemed to be impossible, there is no option for that. I have no idea why not, all OS have this and it is a basic function for a laptop many change it depending on the temporary needs.
A simple select option in Power should exist.

I already filed a Gnome bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790043

There is such a switch in Tweaks in the Power section, but you need to install the gnome-tweaks-tool package to make Tweaks available.

Is it fixed, or why should it be closed? :(

You already know the reason why the upstream report was closed, don't you?
