What I expect: - tap Lock button on Top menu -> screen goes off; - press Power button / touch FP sensor -> lockscreen is shown / code is requested.
What I have: - tap Lock button -> screen goes off; - press Power button -> lock screen is shown, no code required to go to homescreen; - touch FP sensor -> homescreen is shown.
Xperia XA2 DS, SFX 3.2

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.
Note that there are two levels of "locking":
What that top menu item does is: It activates (1) and turns display off.
Now, if "immediate locking" has been selected from device lock settings, that turning display off part activates also (2).
Alternatively, if you actually have immediate locking selected: Fingerprint authentication is active also when "plain lockscreen" (and SneakPeek/Glance/LPM view) is shown -> you can (on purpose) authenticate with fingerprint without swiping to reveal the "enter lock code" page.
So from user perspective answer may sound like this:
Lock button itself does not lock device. It turns the screen off. Whether device will locked or not after screen off depends on what is set for "Settings > Security - Device lock - Automatic lock" parametr.

settings > security - device lock
gives you options ... what you want is:
automatic locking: no delay
misc11 ( 2019-11-02 13:34:37 +0200 )editPressing Lockbutton is not automatic locking. It is clear command to immediate lock. At least I read the lock icon that way.
kandelabra ( 2019-11-02 13:38:17 +0200 )editthe option defines the delay between screen off and device lock. if you want to manually override the option double tap the power button. this is the command for immediate locking.
misc11 ( 2019-11-02 13:40:57 +0200 )editExactly as you said - between screen off and lock. So Lock button indeed is Screen off button not the Lock button, rigth?
kandelabra ( 2019-11-02 15:45:57 +0200 )edityou could argue thats poor design, but how do you symbolize screen off?
also, i never use that button i just swipe from the top to lock (patch), so whatever... youre the first to complain in 6 years, congrats.
