You can try this. Open the terminal and type:

gksu gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Set these two lines to look like this:

HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

Save the file, reboot and test it under the two environments (docked and undocked).

If unacceptable results, change your power settings to β€œDo nothing” on the lid close event where you have it set to β€œSuspend” now. You shouldn’t have to reboot to test your two environments again.
