I guess Iʻm in....
Iʻve actually noticed this behavior a handful of times on my mid 2014 15" rMBP w/ Iris Pro.
Itʻll normally happen as the computer is just about to go to sleep.
1) Immediately after the screen shuts off and the computer goes into sleep mode
3) if you try to wake your computer by, lets say, touching your trackpad or keyboard, the screen will remain dark, only the mouse arrow displays, and your screen remains in this state
3) you're able to move the mouse arrow around the screen, but you cannot exit out of the dark screen and bring up your password box.
This lasts for exactly 30 seconds, no longer, no less. Iʻve tested this at 10, 15, and 20 seconds, and the computer stays frozen until youʻve waited 30 seconds.
Once 30 seconds has passed, the password box automatically appears, if youʻve set to do so.
**Hereʻs the interesting thing:
In System Preferences > Energy Saver, if I uncheck "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" and attempt to wake the computer directly after the display has gone dark, the computer immediately wakes and displays my password box.
**Therefore, my question to the members on this forum is simply:
Is this normal behavior?
Perhaps the computer is writing information to the disk before it goes into sleep mode?
Since I can replicate the issue anytime before the 30 second mark, providing that "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is left unchecked, is this simply the normal behavior for the operating system?
FYI: I do not use any Adobe apps
