B320 & B330, Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect when screen is off

In Marshmallow B320 and B330, if the screen is off, Honor 7 doesn't look for known wifi networks in range to connect to. In Lollipop it does.

Scenario: I come back to my home with Honor 7 in my jacket. In my home I have a WiFi network WPA2/PSK configured and working. Until I switch on the screen, the smartphone doesn't connect. After 2 seconds I bring on the screen (locked or not, with fingerprint or power button), the wifi icon appears and it confirm "XYZ network connected". This happens also if I have the option "Wi-Fi active during suspension" (in Wi-Fi advanced settings).
Once reconnected, if screen goes off there is no problem and Honor remains connected. The issue happens only in reconnection if I exited and entered back the coverage with screen off.
Same Honor 7 with previous Lollipop and/or other smartphones and device have not this behaviour and get connected as soon as you are in range of wi-fi, with or without screen on.

The strange is that I don't find other people with same issue... :eek:
