Are you sure it's not waking up after blanking because of movement? Mine
sometimes lights up the full screen if it's moved or handled in a
certain way (and with vibrations or douple tap it shows up a black
background summary of the lock screen, quite neat).

Make sure it's a short press, as the long press is still handled
differently even if you've set the shortcut to "none" (as opposed to the
GenAI/GIGO-as-a-Service assistant).
