Windows Running XBMC keeps Windows from shutting off monitors

XBMC has it's own setting that will shut down the display when idle, but it only works if XBMC is running fullscreen. Check under settings>system>power saving>put display to sleep when idle. Of course you can also have XBMC go even further and shut down or suspend the system when idle too.

Are there plans to fix this?

Unless there is a formal bug report posted on TRAC, it may get overlooked. I looked back and see you made a ticket. It doesn't appear anyone has picked it up yet.

Excuse me if I'm being obtuse, but is there a difference between a bug report and a ticket? Do I need to do something different?

Nope. You did the right thing. We just need to wait for a developer to pick it up.
