Horizon Android client on Chromebook

Using the Horizon Android client on Chromebook. Laptop Screen goes to sleep, and when trying to move the mouse and activate the screen, the Horizon client is frozen. Have to close and restart the horizon client. Any ideas?

What version of horizon android client are you running? Make sure you are at latest version 5.4.1.

Does this issue persist only when using it on chromebook?

If you have multi-monitor setup, please check if issue is reproducible with single monitor as well.

Yes, latest version. Yes, only on Chromebook. No multi monitor.

So this seems to happen with the chrome Horizon client also. If the machine is idle for 6 minutes? the screen goes black. Pressing any key says, you have been disconnected. From reading online, it seems that you can't change when the Chromebook screen goes off. Any workarounds?
